Dear Adele,
My deepest sympathy for your loss.When I think back and recall all the memories I have from the days in Campbell Hall, Ken is near the top of the list. Working at the Ford plant, I was the "kid" in the bunch. Kenny, Paul, Sidney, Bobby, & the gator (me). The memories are worth a million dollars! I know you'll cherish yours, as I do mine.
