After 3 years, Kenneth and Carolyn sold the dairy, and he began working for Georgia Pacific and retired from there after 39 years. He enjoyed fishing, reading, working on crossword puzzles, and drawing. He was very talented in wood working with both skills in carving and building. Kenneth was very proud of his projects such as kitchen cabinet and his dining room table. His oldest brother was KIA during WWII, and this sparked an interest for researching the 90th Bomber Group.
