Ken and Margaret were Chairmen of the Indiana State Convention in 1999. After meeting Margaret, Ken took lessons for round dancing, and square dancing at Advanced and Challenge levels. Their service in square dancing also included Secretary of Indiana Dancers Association, Inc., and Vice- Chairmen of Round Dance Clinics for the 1999 National Square Dance Convention in Indianapolis. Admittedly, Ken would have said that he had the most fun as Camping Chairman at the State Convention.

Ken graduated in 1941 from Homer High School, Homer, NE. The yearly reunion of his class of fourteen brought him back as often as he could. The reunion dinner was held in the gym of the high school. It was a time of renewed friendships and catching up on the growth of the small community of 500 persons. He had probably just had a luncheon of oyster stew with these old classmates.
