Ken's Story

Update 11 Sep 2012: One solid year in the desert southwest, and I win a sweepstakes that takes me to NYC....and I am not taking that return flight....will be back in Washington later today. John Anthony dies 25 Aug 2012, I find out when I get a linkedin message....Beryl Anthony dies 2 Feb 2012, and I find out 5 weeks later while doing genealogical research...up pops the obituary.... Update 16 Feb 2011: I have been in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico since just after New years. I will have to bribe my way into the interior, and that so far has been difficult. I decided to return to Toluca, Mexico, after finding and meeting my natural family, pending emigration to Israel. Washington, DC was definately wearing, and I needed to get back to work. Being stuck here in the land of the decapitated head though was not what I had in mind. A shooting happened about 80 ft from my bed, just outside my place. at 1:20 AM...in late January...2 nights ago, at 11:14 PM, I walked outside and down my stairs and saw a masked, fully uniformed soldier unlatching my door bars (stupidly not locked)....he slunk off quietly when he saw me, jumping back on the back of the pick-ups that they convoy in with the lights off....methinks it was a desire for a whiz.... Update 08/11/2010: Have met my sister Amy (Bayari) in Truckee, California, along with her daughters. Nifty! She looks remarkably like Janice Houston of Belle Aire School in Downers Grove, Illinois... Update 08/07/2010: Went to Los Angeles and met my 1st cousin, Margot Michelman for the 1st time, and got lots of stories and photos. This womens' mother was very close with my grandmother and was baby-sat by my mother. Update 06/02/2010: Finally met my brother Roy Howard, in Deposit, New York! Dude went through hell with our mother, so I imagine I was lucky enough not t...Expand for more
o have been raised by her. Update 08/30/09: My sister Melissa called Friday 08/29! Unreal, after 48 years! Then, an email from sister Bayari and then a phone message from her....never met these but I surely will! Update: 07/16/09 Reunited with my mother in Staten Island, NY after just 48 years! 3 decades of searching...She is just like me..just much worse! Update 07/07/2006 Am back in the states since mid March, 2006. Had a serious high-blood pressure issue which was resolved after medical treatment in Baltimore, so I made the LONG and grueling bus trip from Toluca. School I went to Primary in Martinsville, NJ until 8.5 yrs. old. We then moved to Downers Grove, Illinois, where I attended Belle Aire elementary, Herrick Jr. High from 6th thru 8th, then a bit more than 2.5 yrs. at Downers Grove north. I left to go on my own and attended 1 yr. at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa High School. I finished High School at Des Moines, Iowa East High. I attended community college at The College of DuPage (COD), Triton Community college, San Diego city college, Los Angeles Harbor college, Indian Hills community college in Centerville, Iowa, and a forgotten community college in Los Altos Hills, California. I attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma in the spring, 1983 semester, then Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma the following fall. Because I suffered a serious head injury in the spring of 1981, college was difficult while memory and ability to concentrate returned. Most of what I learned was actually in college was in the economic and political theory field, much credit goes to professors at Triton and Indian Hills. Other than that, I am largely an autodidact, without even a high school diploma. Yes, I am proud to have no diploma...I suffered and got next to nothing to show for it.
