Ken and I grew up together in Selinsgrove. Our parents were friends, so it was just natural we were in each other's company. So many memories flood in thinking of those times so many years ago. We did the things guys do , going to the races, fishing, boy scouts, camping out, ping pong, etc. We lost track after high school,as Ken went to college and moved away. But, I always remember him as a loyal friend,confidant and class mate. His memory will be with me. Rest well...
