I met your father in 1962 in Washington, D.C. and wrote to him all the while he was in Germany. We always planned to get together after he returned home from the service, but we never did. I remember he had a wonderful artistic talent. He was a wonderful young man and I'm sure he was a wonderful man and father.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and
Prayers. Ken will greatly be missed, without him and the first Boswell's, I would have never met my dear friend. Love you!

Love & Peace to you during this time. Though I havent spoken to your dad in a couple of years, He is often in my thoughts. He was such a kind and talented man who so loved you all! His talent as an artist whether it was in painting or designing food creations, and his love of anything creative by his offspring & grandchildren will live in the lives of those he touched.
