Mary Ellen Rogers “Merf”

I was so surprised to see this! Mary Ellen was my childhood friend that lived down the street. We went to St. Daniel´s school and walked home together and went to Coronado High School. We spent hours in the summers going to Big Surf, sun tanning and riding our 10 speed bikes. We took a trip to California as teens in her Opal GT that she taught me how to drive a stick shift. RIP my dear friend Pam Bennett Becker

I still remember taking the phone call from my Uncle A.B. in 1956. He was laughing and crying and babbling on about their new little girl! Obviously, I'll never forget that call... just like my "cuz" Mary Ellen. Rest in (unexpected) peace, MERF.

Meeting Merf at Glory Days while she was organizing Brain´s 60th surprise birthday party with The Dogs. I hadn´t yet met Brian, and she was telling me about the local band from Claremont that she was going to have play! I know when I met Brian he said he was surprised, and then really surprised when he saw the band.
Sending prayers to Brain and Daniel during these difficult times.
