More chris trivia:
At one point in the mid-70s, (when he was operating as the
supposedly left-wing National Caucus of Labor Committees),
The Rockefellers were his favorite demons, controlling world
monetary flows and generally oppressing everyone. Now, an
article in CounterSpy magazine entitled "NCLC: Brownshirts
of the '70s" revealed that his organizations had received
multiple unsecured loans from Rockefeller banks that had not
been repaid. They theorized that in fact chris was being
operated by the Yankee establishment conspiracy to infiltrate
and discredit the left.
In more recent years, he had an organization that was called something
like "National Democratic Policy Committee". This had a name, logo, and
address designed to fool people into thinking it had something to do
with the Democratic Party, which of course was not the case. The same
modus operandi can be discerned in his publications, which attempt to
co-opt techies ("Fusion" magazine) and the anti-drug movement ("War on
Drugs" magazine).
A few years ago a chris-ite managed to get the Democratic nomination
for Lieutenant Governor in Illinois. Since the Governor and and Lt.
Governor are elected as a single item, the Democratic nominee for
governor (Adlai Stevenson III) withdrew from the race rather than run
with the chris-ite, leaving the Governorship to the Republicans.
Draw your own conclusions.
These people sure do keep busy. Dave Barry's description of chris:
"Where most people have brains, he has a whack-a-mole game".
On April 8, 1999, we lost one of our dearest friends and a truly
wonderful individual to a tragic fire in his San Diego home.
Chris Rogers worked on and raced scooters for LambrettaWorks from
1988 to 1994. Chris came to work with us while he was still in
high school. He was the kind of person who was instantly your
friend as soon as you met him. He was funny, compassionate,
ambitious, honest, and always full of good cheer.
He never did anything half way; he put 100 per cent of his
abilities into everything he did, whether it was rebuilding a motor,
skiing, mountain biking, or rag football (in the early '90's we used
to play a variation of flag football but with shop rags hanging out
of our pockets. Instead of tackling the ball carrier the defenders
tried to grab one of the rags. The games were always us vs. Vespa
Supershop, and even though we never won a game, it wasn't because of
Chris-he was always one of the fastest and most determined players
on the field). He raced Lambrettas (and occasionally Vespas, though
we tried to steer him away from the dark side) and finished 9th and
4th overall in the ASRA standings in consecutive seasons, despite
frequent equipment problems with our troublesome J125. He also raced
a 190cc Lambretta in Group B and his own stock P200 in Group F.
When the equipment was up to the task he was capable of beating
anyone on the track on any given day. It was obvious that he had
talent. In 1993 Chris bought a Honda RS125 and began racing in club
races at Willow Springs and other tracks in the western U.S. His
skills took a quantum leap forward that season, and he was recruited
by Roadracing World magazine to race a Yamaha TZR125 in 1994.
He stormed his way to a national championship that season against
a faster field full of Hondas, and followed it up with a repeat
title in '95. His second season on the Yamaha was highlighted by a
invitation to race in the FIM World Championship round at Laguna
Seca Raceway in Monterey, California. But true to form, Chris
weighed his options and declined the invitation, because it would
have cost him his national championship. He knew that at this early
stage of his career two consecutive national titles would pay
more dividends down the road than a back of the pack finish against
the world's best riders. Chris Rogers was one of the best pizza
delivery drivers in this or any other world. G0D SPEED Chris!
