Ken DePeal:  

Life After high school, I spent a year with ARC doing shows throughout the US. Then it was off to college for a music education. I got a lot more education than music, though music paid the bills. Since life at IWU, I've lived one year in Owosso, MI, five years in Buffalo, NY, two years in Moline, Illinois, and six years in Allendale, MI. I finally turned into a half-nice guy and found someone that would marry me. Karen's a pediatric nurse, and we have two incredible sons together who consume our time with their baseball, football, and basketball involvements. We're big into Michigan football, Braves baseball, and any Big Ten college hoops. School Biggest crush? They'd die, but two were Betsy Bylsma and Lauren Carey. Favorite teacher? Mr. Sawyer (aka, "Boo Boo the Fool"). Favorite moment? Bob Strobel reading Prince's "I Would Die for You" lyrics as a poem in English class, and getting away with it. Would I do high school again? Yeah, but without the big hair, and I'd hope to be nicer. Greatest friends? Todd, Grant, Matt, Leroy, Eric, and Mike. Hardest loss? Realizing Todd will never again know who I am. Biggest disappointment? Losing track of Marc Vicari, Matt Meadows, Mike Atkins, and Steve Wilbourn. Vintage memory? Listening to Genesis with Jeff Mesler on the way to a game against Mona Shores. Anything else? I think I was really nice to some people, and really mean and twisted toward others... sorry about that inconsistency. College Donnie, CT...Expand for more
