Welcome New Members

Everyone gives a warm welcome to our newest contributing members of the family blog.
Welcome: Tim, Carol, Gerry, Kathy and Jeff

Family Blog has been Re-Named

It seems there has been some confusion within the family tribe as to which clan name should be used as a title for the blog. First let me clarify that the name Rogers Family Blog is just a title for the blog. Just because your surname does not match, does not mean that your are not a welcomed member of the family blog. No more than it would mean you are not a member of the family. Having said this, I will further explain that the author of this blog is ROGERS which inadvertently had some influence on the title. The name ROGERS was also seemed a likely choice because the Rogers clan is the first and originating clan of the tribe where all subsequent clans have either infiltrated through marriage or some other means to benefit the advancement of their own clan. Though to this day, the Rogers clan remains the superior clan, we would be ungracious not to recognize the limited contributions of subordinate clans. Though they can be a depletive strain on the tribes mental and emotional resources, in the final equation, they are a benefit to the overall strength and wellbeing of the tribe as a whole. We are also sympathetic to the sacrifices and loss that the inferior clans have endured through the suffrage and defection from their alleged prior identities. Therefore we make no differentiation to those subsequent clans that have symbioticly established themselves as a permanent part of our tribe. They are all a welcomed PART of this family and of course, this blog. In support of this belief, I have decided change the name of this blog to THE GRAPEVINE.
Warm regards, Tribal Chief blogger

Southeastern indoor district track meet held Feb 9 in Newport News

Southeastern indoor district track meet held Feb 9 in Newport News. Mostly this post is to announce photos taken at the track meet. The rest of them are posted here at the Comeau clan family album. Joey placed sixth throwing 31 ft 11 ins Very good for a first timer in his sophmore year. Most don't make it to districts their first time out. Other photos taken at same meet. I believe there is one of Adam and his girlfriend Kaelin waiting their turn for pole vaulting. They each qualified to go on to regionals. Adam tied for second in the district clearing 11 ft 6 in Kaelin also qualified clearing 8ft 6 in. Kathy
