Carlisle Barracks, 1965-66
Erik was a friend through my younger brother, Sam Rogers. I am Chris Rogers. Erik played drums in a band with my brother. I am a Vietnam vet also. I remember Erik as a big hearted guy, always smiling. I remember the band practicing in our basement, right next door to the Commandant of the post. Had to keep it down a little, so my dad, Colonel Rogers, didn't get in trouble with the post C.O. Erik was a great football player also, playing on the 1965 Carlisle High School undefeated football team. Quite a few of us brats on that team. The world lost a great guy when Erik was killed. Rest in peace, Erik, you have truly earned it.
