I lived with Kenny in 1971, I worked for him at his ski school, we didn't make a whole lotta money, in fact, we didn't make ANY money ! :).....we kept gas in the boat, gas in our dirt bikes, and "Dinty Moore Stew" by the case from Basha"s ....but I'll tell you what, you'll never find two clowns like us that had any more fun than what we did we REALLY had the world by the cahoneies ! we were on the water every day unless it was blown out, then we'd saddle up on our dirt bikes an go ridin, who knew where, and when we REALLY were hard up for cash Kenny knew a guy that built swimming pools an we'd "hand pack " the concrete pools, that was shoveling wet mud from the bottom of the deep end, EIGHT feet UP........yeah man, we were livin life !

A fond memory of Kenny was at Perris in the early 70's when he taught me to water ski with his Dad driving the boat. Too bad we lost touch all these years. May he rest in peace!
