Retired Army Col. Jack Rogan, a St. Bernard parishioner, recently finished his book, “Our Wartime Love Story: In Memory of Ann Rogan.” The book details his 65-year marriage to Ann, who he met while he was in the Army and she was a Red Cross worker in Japan. To get a copy of the book, you can order it from the publisher at henschelhausbooks.com or Amazon.com.
