"At the age of 16, pinned a note to his 4-year old brother telling his family he was going to Chicago." Ken was an artist.
I remember when I was a little girl, visiting Great-aunt Vera in Kalamazoo, Michigan and seeing this beautiful mural on a dining room wall that Great-uncle Ken had painted. It took up the entire wall and I knew then he had an amazing artistic talent for detail. It must have been amazing for Aunt Vera, to sit and watch her husband create a beuatiful piece of artwork.
