Thanks to everyone who signs my brothers guest book. My brother when he was younger was an avid golfer and at one point was on the Senior PGA Tour. He spent most of his life playing golf,I could never understand why. While in High school ( Vallejo High)he played some, base ball. Ken is in a better place and is at peace. Again Thanks to everyone who comes here.
