  1. I was thinking if Max the other day and his last visit with my Dad. As he left he looked at me with tears in his eyes. What a great man he said. My Dad, Carl Rogers, and Max were great friends from the days at R G & E. My Dad always said Max could make the worst home beautiful again. He was so talented. Dad always had wonderful stories of him and Max. He always said what a great man he was. RIP Max. Have a beer with Dad for me.
