Re: bracedagain-Ken now againbrace!
Last night I sent out an e-mail trying to find contact information on Ken. Sadly I received three different e-mails each sharing the unfortunate news that Ken passed away from liver cancer in August. During my "adventures in braces," he was one of the friends that helped me tolerate the lack of progress that each of us tends to suffer.
While I never got to share a drink with him or a fresh cooked meal, we did share a great deal. For that I am thankful. For his passing, I mourn.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Thanks for praying for me and thinking happy thoughts.

Re: bracedagain-Ken now againbrace!
Wow... this is truly sad news. Ken also helped me a great deal in getting through this journey and always gave great advice. RIP, our friend...
Re: bracedagain-Ken now againbrace!
Sad to hear about the loss of Ken. Hopefully, he is enjoying some really great hotrods to drive, and zero braces, where ever he is. RIP to an avid supporter here, you will be missed!

Re: bracedagain-Ken now againbrace!
I haven't been visiting here much lately, but just spotted IBorg's sad announcement about Ken. What a shock... He was a great contributor here for a long while, and very supportive to a lot of us particularly to the newcomers first starting out. Good thoughts go out to him...
