Ken Page started shopping at my scent bar over 20 years ago, and he was so gracious when I was star-struck. When my son was born, I began taking him to see Ken perform at the Muny. He was a darling, dear man, and made the world a better place.

My main memory of Ken was that he starred in a couple of Bishop DuBourg Highschool plays; we were both students there at the time. It was obvious from his talent that he would go far on the stage. He will be missed.
