Rodney Lee Rice was born 03 September 1954

Rod is what we sometimes call "shirt tail" relatives. He is the son of Dale and Halo Rice.

Dale was a brother of Eileen Rice Thomas (wife of Bernarde Thomas, my dad's brother).

Rod and his brother and sister, Rick and Tammy, were in school with me in Hartford, Michigan -- so they were more familiar to me than some of my closer relatives.
