Please join us at the Moberly Library on Saturday, March 28th at 2:00 p.m. for "Love and War: A Doughboy's Diary" by Dr. Becky Imhauser. “The honor of your presence is requested at the marriage of Frances Truitt and Lieut. James F. Rogers on April 9, 1918.” Costumed in bridal attire, Dr. Becky Imhauser shares the love story of this couple based on Lieut. Rogers’ unpublished World War I diary. Written with clarity, compassion, and humor, the military diary provides an intimate glimpse into the couple’s life during World War I (including their wedding day…and night!). The presentation features family photos and correspondence, as well as a “rest of the story” overview of the Rogers’ lives. While James Rogers left no biological descendants, his diary is a priceless legacy of love and loyalty, patience and patriotism.
