Uncle Joe Awards 2008
June 19, 2008 12:39
Monday
night was Awards Night for Work Inc. Work, Inc. is
a sevice provider for people with disabilities and
psychiatric disabilities in Massachusetts. My
uncle, David Rogers, presented the Joe Rogers Award
for Independence to Paul Baxter. It was an exciting
night at the IBEW hall, across the street from the
site of Work Inc's new facility in Dorchester. The
evening was also groundbreaking and by next year
the new location should be good to go.
We showed a video for the event that features the seven nominees for the award. The nominees are Paul Baxter, John Carideo, Robert Collier, Alan Miller, Robert Ouelette, Grace Smith and Maura Sullivan. The award honors independence and each showed a side of the quality that was so essential in Joe Rogers' life.
Here's the video:

Images Festival at the Museum of Fine Arts was a

little or nothing about a film and being
transported. Such was the case with Ryan and Alter
Egos.
Ryan is an animated film with an extraordinary surreal quality that seems to me the height of what computers can offer. Using video recordings as a base the film

Jack
Encancio wrote a piece in the Patriot Ledger of
Quincy, MA and surrounding area about Fernald and
Joe's relationship to it.

It presents the question of how the past lives with us in the present. Does the shadow of the institution ever go away? One of the most challenging things about Fernald today is that it IS a community. Yes, there are elements of the segregation of the past, but they are more historical footnotes then real forces of the present.
