Kenneth M. Pruitt

My Dear Angela:

Ferne Seigel, a friend to both of us, shared with me Ken's obituary. How saddened I was to learn of his passing. My first memory of him was when I was sort of "forced" to take his physical chemistry class, because the dean of the medical said that, because of my advanced age, if I could prove to the medical school admissions board that I could pass his course, I would be admitted to medical school. This goes back to about 1969. And what a rough course it was!! But...

Dear Angela and Family, Connie and I are deeply saddened to learn this evening of Ken's death. We enjoyed knowing him in the band.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Bob & Connie
Birmingham Community Concert Band

Angela, I will truly miss Dr. Pruitt. As his personal trainer I enjoyed our time together and felt honored that he shared his stories with me. He was always upbeat and willing to do his best. I would like to share with you the poem he wrote for me about a year or so ago. As you know he loved to write.

Angela, it was sad to read in this morning's paper, that Ken died. I only knew him a short time, but enjoyed his company and visiting with him. My love and sympathy to you and your family.

Dr. Pruitt has always been special to me. During my medical research days, he was kind and always quick to offer encouragement when it was needed. He was a wonderful person who will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.
