aside from family members, it seems that joe rogers knows two people in los angeles: me, and the guy who makes his suits. i say this because a couple months after this picture was taken i was awakened at 6am by a telephone call from joe. i was half asleep, so it took me a couple minutes to understand what he was saying, which was that the seams in the shoulders of his jackets were coming apart and he would have to bring them by for repair the next time he was in town, and was that okay with me. sometimes i just don't have the energy to explain things fully to people, especially at that hour, so i told him that'd be fine, he should just drop them off when it was convenient. and then i went back to sleep. aside from having the class to have custom tailored clothing, joe rogers was the youngest lieutenant governor of colorado, and now travels around the country speaking to colleges and companies about civil rights.
