Ken had his fifteen seconds of fame last weekend. About a year ago, our neighbor, Bob Sonju, who works for the Washington county school district asked Ken to be in a documentary they were making to celebrate 100 years in Washington County School District. So, during the last year he had on-camera interviews and he provided pictures of himself as a child. The premier of the movie was Saturday night. It was a huge, red carpet affair. It was held at Desert Hills High School.
