So sorry to here of Ken Danko passing. Always had a smile and always could make me laugh when I truly needed to laugh. Pound for pound the toughest player on our 1966 NW Conference Championship football team. I still can see him tackling O"Neil the huge fullback from Plainville, stopping him dead in his tracks with a tackle to O"Neil"s ankles even though Ken was out weighed 2 to 1. Kenny was FEARLESS!!!!!!!!!
