    Rick and Rozmarie and family
    I have fond memories of times that I got to spend with Ken-mostly when he and Rick traveled to Colorado to come enjoy our scenery and friendship and get a little Rocky Mountain high altitude air! I did visit them by car one year at their home in Kansas City and we had some fun adventures. Ken and I repaired a lawn mower than was needing help, His warm smile and quick wit is what I will remember the most,,,,,,
