Looking at old photos, there was one with Ken. It brought back old memories of UO and Med school prompting me to google Ken. Was saddened to learn of his passing 2 years ago. We were in many classes together at UO and we were lab partners our first 2 years of Med school. I hope Tiny is well.
A long lost friend,

I was checking on-line for some old friends who I hadn't seen in a long time, and am sorry to read of Ken and Lucille's passing. They were onderful people who I knew through the hobby of birding.
