So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I've known Ken since the early 1970's at the University of Montana in Missoula. Got Reacquainted with him in Great Falls. First through Montana Photo.. and later at North Country Media Group. While there we developed a very nice and lasting friendship. I wish the family and friends strength. May their memories of happier times be a comfort and solace as we all transition through this difficult time.
