BHS thanks you Mr. Rogers.
He was my Spanish 1 teacher at BHS back in 1987. I enjoyed taking him since Mrs. Teel scared the crud out of me. Spanish was very difficult for me and he was very persistent in helping us learn.
I am now teaching Art at BHS and it was nice to see him for a few years before he retired.
My condolences to his family.

Mr. Rogers tried to teach me French during my Sophomore year at BHS during what would have been maybe his first or second year there. It wasn't for his lack of trying that I never mastered the language but I certainly enjoyed his class. He was a very kind and patient man who I think truly enjoyed teaching at the then upstart Bloomington High School. He was one of my favorite teachers.

Thank you Mr Rogers for inspiring me and teaching me French and Spanish. I went on to become a French major which got me to travel and help me figure out my purpose in life. I am so happy to know you and that I returned after graduation of UC Riverside to give me personal thanks to you.
God bless you and your family.

I remember my 1st day of Spanish class very well. I was skeptical of a "white" guy teaching me Spanish. It didn't take long for me to change my opinion. He made learning fun. BHS was sure lucky to have him. Thank you Mr. Rogers. God bless your family with strength as they grieve for an extraordinary man.
