2 - Ken's Story Goes to the Web

We've just celebrated Dad's eighty fifth birthday and the sixty third anniversary of marriage to his wife and our mother. The whole family feels blessed to have been raised by them both and particularly proud to be his sons. During our celebration, Dad announced that his story was going into the 164th Infantry Newsletter.
He told us that he had sent the document to the editor of the 164th Infantry Newsletter. She had asked for readers to send her stories from the war and his kind of blew her away. She edited down the WWII content out of Ken's Story and will be featuring the condensed version in an upcoming issue. We feel extremely honored that Dad will be getting six pages of their magazine. You'll find her edit of the story in pdf format below.
-Page1419SandhopCoB2.pdf-.pdfI also wanted the full Ken's Story, in his own words that was edited and assembled by my brother Ron a few years ago available to anyone that wanted it in its entirety. I thought this would be much easier than continuing to pass it around as a printed document or on CD. That is what you've found on the preceding pages. I've just copied the text into the site, formatted as best as I could to match the printed document and added pictures and links to support.
As I have time, I'll continue to place pictures and add links to further support and freshen it. The KML attachments that you find on many of the pages work with Google Earth. Install the Google Earth desktop client, download and run the KML and you can view the areas discussed on the page in Google Earth. In the near future I plan to make it so these will be available directly within in the site so that you won't have to download the kml's at all!
Editors note 2020: Due to this site's host requirements, I recently needed to migrate to their new format. You'll find the bells and whistles currently broken, but I'm working on it.
The attached KML's didn't make it through the migration. However I've found that the web version just may be a better way to go instead of trying to restore the old ones. I'm starting with what I'm the most familiar with, The Wenatchee Valley. Click the link, then click on the aerial view of the valley. I'm working on the tour now for that page.
