My fondest memory of Ken is his love for his son, Eddie. Before Eddie was even born, he drove 4 hours on his motorcycle from Washington DC to State College, PA taking back roads, of course, to announce that there would be a new little addition to their family. He was so excited to share his knowledge, enthusiasm and life experiences with Eddie. He wanted only the best for his son - a bilingual school and a microscope and telescope to explore the world around him. I remember him telling us how he taught Eddie how to recognize lower case letters by choosing the lower case setting on his computer. He wanted Eddie to be excited about learning just as he was.
Ken could capture the true memory with his talent for photography. While visiting Ken, Beatriz and Eddie, I loved looking at his photos hanging on the wall. I was grateful for the many that he sent to us as Eddie grew through the years. Two photos that come to mind are one of him and Eddie hiking and one of Beatriz and Eddie in a stadium. From the pictures, you could see true emotion and know that Beatriz and Eddie were his life.
