| Off to the CAG Formal - May 1968 | Who is this man and what is he doing to Helen? |
Birth announcement for our first child, Kathy, born December 24, 1968, at the Balboa Naval Hospital. The BuNo and side number are significant because this was my Fly-In airplane and nine months later Kathy was born. She was the first baby born to a member of the Air Group. Bill Hobdy's daughter, Noelle, was born the following day.

| The only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys. I bought this 1941 Ford Station Wagon for $300 off a used car lot in Chula Vista in October 1969. In those days they were common and cheap on used car lots in Southern California. | Still have the Woodie, but they're no longer cheap. This picture was taken in Little Georgetown, Virginia, during an antique car Spring tour. Click here to see him playing with his toys. | ||

Ken & Helen at Fenwick Island, Delaware - July 2006. And the rest
of the crew - that's Kathy with the red hair and her daughters: Ann (age 9) and
Emma (age 5). Our son Chris and his wife Tish were expecting their first child in
early February '07. Since they live in Orange County our trip to the Reunion
will serve double duty. Missing from the picture is Kathy's husband Tony.
