Hi Aunt Murna. Uncle Ken was the first person to intrigue me with impressions. I still remember his galloping horse sound. Since then I have formed many of my own impressions. You have all my love, your Nephew,

Been fun working with Ken at UP&L for a LOT of years! I retired in 2000. He also worked with my cousin, DelMont Wallace, at the Nevada test site.

Ken was a good hearted and caring man who always took care of his family in the best way he could. Thank you for loving Karla and Jenna and for being a substitute father to me. I know you're in a happier place now so please say hello to my mom and give her a big hug from me.
Love Jim
