MICHAEL E. RODGERS
1902—1996
HUMANITARIAN AND SENIOR ADVOCATE
Born in Northern Ireland in 1902, Michael E. Rodgers survived the Irish Civil War. As a teenager, Michael was a radioman with the Irish forces. In 1921, his keen knowledge of radios led him to work for the Marconi Company in London. As their representative to the Orient, he travelled to China, India, Burma and Australia.
While touring Los Angeles in 1928, Michael stepped on to the Paramount lot at a time when movies were transitioning to sound. Soon, Michael began a career in the new field of movie sound engineering. In 1941, at the start of World War II, he started employment with McDonnell Douglas engineering aircraft radios.
Eventually moving to Huntington Beach, he retired in 1967 and once again, did groundbreaking work in a new field.
At age 65, Michael focused his attention on issues facing seniors. He co -founded the Huntington Beach Chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons, creating their Life Long Learning Education program.
In 1973, he joined with several activists and groups to form the Huntington Beach Council on Aging (HBCOA). Working with the City Council, they established the Seniors’ Recreation Center in 1975. Under Michael’s leadership, the HBCOA engaged in a campaign to re -model the center with an additional 1500 square feet.
The building became the Michel E. Rodgers Seniors’ Center in 1984
His list of accomplishments is extraordinary.
