Gail Schuyler (Walsh) (1955)
I am sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I remember good times at the Teen Club, especially dances with Marge and Gower Champion there. Many good memories at BCHS and Ken is a good part of many of them. I was looking forward to seeing him at the annual reunion.
My sympathy to Ken's wife and children, as well as the rest of his family.
