To DR. J. B. ROGERS
"The friendly tribute paid Dr. J. B. Rogers, father of the Boy Scout movement inMichigan City, by the leaders of scoutingin the Pottawattomie council area on Wednesday evening, was one of the most appropriate and happy testimonials publiclycelebrated in this city for many years.
It would have been a more appropriate tribute if it had been a city-wide testimonial. This genial, kind physician, counselor and friend to all, stands among theselect few of this city's citizens whosepraises will be sung by future generationslong after those who honored him at theBoy Scout banquet have been forgotten.
"For the past two or more decades, Dr.Rogers has kept civic enterprises constantlyto the fore in his program of personal activities. Always interested in youth, he haskept himself young by doing things forthe benefit of the city's boys and girls. Itwas only natural for him to do this as a byproduct of his profession. For he has thereputation of having brought more boysand girls into Michigan City's world thanany other practicing physician here.
Me not only founded the Boy Scoutmovement but has fathered the crippledchildren's work of the Rotary Club sinceits inception. And he was the guidingspirit of the Boys Week celebration, onceso well known here as an annual event.
Few there are who do not know Dr.J- B. Rogers. To know him is to love himand the admiration, respect, and highesteem in which he is held by all will forever stand as the most lasting testimonialanyone could ever hope to possess. May hecontinue with us many, many more years,living, loving, leading us all as an idealof community service and responsibility tothe youth of our community."
Secretary, West Southport, Me.
