I'll always be thankful to Kenny for convincing me to attend Cal Poly here in SLO back in '75; the best move of my life. I'll always miss his presence, humor, and odd idiosyncrasies.

Ken Gordon was a good friend for many years. We wrestled together on the 68 team as Seniors. Kenny battled depression and possibly a bi-polar disorder. He was a fun guy with a great spirit who (in the end) couldn't beat his demons.
