Ken's Story
Well, spent four years at Western Washington State College (now a "university") and got my BA in journalism. Got married and moved to southeast Idaho for 11 years working on daily newspapers. Moved back to Olympia in 1986 to run the family business (jukeboxes, pool tables, darts, etc.) and to spend time with the folks who were getting up there in age.
My wife decided that 25 years of living with me was enough and we divorced in 2000. I remarried to a wonderful sparkplug of a woman (short, cute and fiesty and lots of fun) in 2001. Been married now 11 years and it has been absolutely great. Between us we have four children (three boys and a girl. One boy is a special needs guy and swims Special Olympics.)

I sold the family business in 2002 and work for Digital Music Systems doing the same stuff I had been doing. Less pressure and worries about who is stealing money-- whether it be employees or state and federal government. In August I published my first book. It is called The SHIFT, Moving from Religion to Relationship. Available on my web site or Amazon and Barnes & Noble and Sony (ebook only this site). Have to seeme on Facebook to get the link, I guess. Site rules here.
Life has been great and I still live in the Olympia area. Great neighborhood. Just has lunch with Tony Gibbon mid-September. He still looks the same. Some people......
Send a note. Read my book as it talks about the old Catholic school days amongst other things.
God bless.
