Our Very Own Family's - Very
Famous

1940 Dad and Mom engaged: In
the early spring of 1940, at the "Coconut Grove" Kenneth Woodbury Rodgers
met and fell in love with Lena Irene DeWaal. On September 4, 1940
they were married for "Time and All Eternity" in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
From this union came 9 children, 38 grandchildren, and 42 great grandchildren
which they loved with all their hearts.

 Two
weeks before his decision to rejoin Mom, Dad is here being visited by Clay
Chritiansen, Tabernacle Organist with his wife Diane, and Daughter Corolee,
Son-in-Law Dan Thaxton with their children Marylee and Sarah. With us and
Betty at Dad's side, Dad was pleased to be recognized as his life's technical
skills and compassion for family passed to own children was now coming
to benefit Clay, Diane, Clay's Daughter, Son in Law and their children.
Clay, in further gratitude for my
Father's contribution to his family's benefit, played the Organ at Dad's
funeral with hymns Dad had requested be played. In honoring Dad, Clay made
a humble ward organ sing as if it were the grand Tabernacle organ he plays
continuously for the whole world to hear. Two honorable men honored each
other therein!
