Dear Baldwin Family & Friends
As a young teacher in Jordan MN., I was privleged to have Ken in my 6th grade class.

I will remember him for his gifts & thoughtful concern for others. He shared stories of his family that expressed warmth & fun and valued learning.

He told me of his dream to be a concert musician. I'm not surprised that he not only did it, but also went on to teach!

My thoughts & prayers go out to his wife, children, parents, siblings.

I'll always think of him fondly.
