Meet John Klassen, at least Jack Earl's rendition of John. You'll find him in the gallery of Marbeck Center along with his Kobzar and Earl's Kobzar. John Klassen was an art professor at Bluffton College. To view the other home page feature photos of 2010 click here.
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.
