Ken's Story

Life I live in Myrtle Beach South Carolina and have been here for the past 17 years, in June it became the longest residence of my life. I have three beautiful daughters, Emily 19 is a sophomore at West Chester University in PA, Rose 17 is a senior at Socastee High school in Myrtle Beach and Molly is a sophomore at the same school. My loving companion of 28 years, my wife for 20 years and the mother of our daughters passed away in March of 06 after a short but fierce battle with lung cancer. I miss her every day, the way she smiled the way she laughed and most of all the way she loved life but I get to see her each time I look into our children’s eyes and for that I am forever grateful. We moved to SC from northern New Hampshire where we owned a small motel, While working and living in New Hampshire we enjoyed skiing, hunting and starting our new family. Mark Twain once wrote “the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco” I believe he meant to say New Hampshire. Prior to that I lived in Boston Massachusetts for nine years working in real estate and before that spent eight years in South Florida going to college and working on yachts. Of course you all know where I lived before that, in the little brown two story house half way down the big hill on Elmbrook Village Rd. My wife Joan started a Spanish newspaper in 2000 and I helped her with it part time until she passed away, continuing to publish regularly since then, I have often laughed, thinking back to high school Spanish and the classes I slept through, who would have ever guessed! Most of the time I work with a partner investing in real estate and in my limited free time I enjoy just being a dad and raising our girls. Emily the...Expand for more
college girl studies and works hard while helping me cope with her sisters. Rose and Molly are both starters on the varsity girls basketball team and I thought there were proud moments in my life until I saw them walk out onto the floor together as varsity starters, we practice year round and I even started a traveling team to help all the girls develop team and individual skills in the off season. Fast forward to today. I can't believe it has been 4 years since I wrote this profile, it only seems like yesterday. So much as happened, my daughters have grown and gone, and come back and gone and com back, you know the drill. I am now engaged to a wonderful woman Sandy from the great state of Massachusetts, she is a medical office supervisor and Red Sox fan, the latter of which is the only job she truly loves. We have a great time together riding bikes, traveling and enjoy, (tolerating) all of our children, Business has been good and I am glad to be back working in the Real Estate industry, fortunately for me when I came back in 03 It was in foreclosures, long before they were fashionable. Well that is all for now, I'll update again when our baby arrives. Over the past 37 years I have had the opportunity to live in some beautiful places to travel to many other countries and to meet scores of wonderful people but it only took being away from western PA a short time, before I realized how good the people were and how much growing up there means to me as an adult. I have shared many stories, with our children, at least the sanitized version and have spoken often of the many friends, the wonderful adventures and the exciting life we had before computers and cell phones, it really was the stuff of novels.
