It was just two years ago when, on the same day, these two brothers departed this world. Roger was the oldest child (of six), Chris three years younger. Roger had, in a way most of us do not, almost total recall of his early childhood in Salamanca, New York. He told me late in his life of remembering a trip across country to Idaho in the winter, being snowed in someplace in the midwest. Two year old Chris, dressed in a suit, was chatting away to people in the hotel. “He was just so unbelievably cute, even though nobody could understand a word he said.”
I found some early photos of these two guys in my photo archive…and today I’m thinking of them both.
Here they are with their Mother and Grandmother, February 1948.
Chris, baby Carolyn, Dad, Roger.
November, 1973, Chris and his wife Dianna with our lovely niece Erin came to welcome young Zach Hull…
…and on we go, on we go.
On The Way 
Love your history telling.
Always thankful you’re out there. Xo
Bonnie, what a beautiful tribute to Roger and Chris. These two were a very important, and very precious, part of my life.

Dear Bonnie….What beautiful people! Thank you….and love, Nancy
I sat in Bill Lindburg’s church yesterday thinking of you. Xxoo
Really lovely, Bon. Thanks. I always love your archival ways of remembering.
I’ve been at Katie’s since Wednesday. Going back as soon as my laundry is dry and folded. Dreading it. Much easier being here, in someone else’s life.
Love anyway, E

My heart is with you. I know the heaviness of spirit.
It’s such good luck when a family has a person like you who cares to carry the legacy of good stories and priceless photos forward. Thank you for sharing and reminding me that I have some notes that need making for my family.
Similar to the luck a community has when a person like you brings to the collective consciousness stories about origin and the living world around us. Thank you everyday for reminding me I live on Kalapuyan land surrounded by white oaks and a variety of creatures who really own this world.
Thanks for sharing this Bonnie.
Roger was and is inspiring and will
always be.
