Elizabeth Nisly was so touched by reports she read and saw in the days following the January 12 earthquake in Haiti that she knew she had to do something to help. But the 11-year-old Bluffton sixth grader wasn't in the position to travel to Haiti to volunteer.

Letter: A little more about Jack Earl

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 5, 2010 - 6:48pm

Fred,

Jack and I both graduated from BC in 1956 and both of us roomed with John E. Rogers III who also graduated with us. John was from Manchester, CT and was a janitor in Ropp Hall for a time.

Jack painted a floor to ceiling mural on the south wall of their room just off the third floor porch in Ropp Hall. The mural depicts John with his trade-mark huge smile holding a push broom. Don't know if it's still there.
