Kenneth's Story

Well it has been a long time! I hope that God has been as good to you as he has been to me. I have had the opportunity to travel and see the world, while at the same time working different jobs. After graduation I went to college at Jefferson State community college where I received my associates degree in mass communications but I was just through with school. I wanted more and to see more. So, at the advice of a friend, I left for the military and that is when my traveling began. I am a 6-year veteran of the Army with 3 years over seas in Germany. I have seen all of West Germany and on the east side, Berlin. I moved around Europe as much as possible. Going from town to town on weekends following the beer festivals to the Grand October Fest in late Oct. around Munich. The summer months were filled with exciting adventures every weekend. I have seen the awful devastation of the concentration camps from World War II but at the same time enjoying the beautiful countryside and rich heritage of the people. I have seen England's Stone Hinge and visited the Salt Mines of Austria. I have been to the wonderful city of Paris, France and was shocked to see how filthy the streets seemed but the sights I will never forget. The Louve Museum was filled with painting and other art works but the Monelisa, with all her splendor, was only an 8 x 10. Now that was a shock to me. The eiffle Tower and a...Expand for more
rc de triumph and all of Paris was as advertised. I learned how to snow ski on the slops of The Zuggspitz, which looms over the village of Garmish, Germany. As you can tell my time over seas were filled with adventure and I wouldn't trade the experience for any thing. I finished my military career at Fort Knox, KY in 88'. Then I worked in Radio and T.V. in Birmingham for a while but just couldn't find anything to pay. So, I opened my own Business and worked that for 7 years. Sold it and decided to see the U.S. I drove "Over The Road" the last 4 years and have been in 48 states. The only states I have not been in "YET" are Alaska and Hawaii and they will be coming soon. I have seen New York City and Los Angeles more than I care, Chicago and Dallas along with Kansas City. I have even been as far north as Seattle, Washington. (The Space Needle reminds me of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.) Ah, "Sin City." What a place. In 06' I went to Vegas 9 times and Reno 4, I even had the opportunity to go to Vegas and Reno twice in one week. Presently. I live in Hoover, Al. with my 3 children. Well, I say children. One is 20, one 18 and my youngest is 7. Nick, Kayla, and Kasey, respectively. Well, you are now up to date but I would very much like to know about you. Thank you Kenneth Helms
