About: Ken

 

Born in Berkeley, CA August 17, 1928; A little over a year later, the stock market crashed on Wall Street, but I claim no resposibility. We were in Seattle. I never saw Babe Ruth play, but Willie Mays was a favorite, and if Seattle had had a Major League ball club in the 1930's and after, I probably would have seen both of them. I grew up in Seattle, went to Korea with the US Army of Occupation in 1947. Returned to school at the University of Washington (B.A. '52), worked as a newsman for three years in a town (Richland, WA) adjacent to the Hanford Atomic Energy Plant. Did graduate work and taught English and American Lit and Creative Writing at Seattle University ('61-'94) completing an elderly (57) Ph.D. at Indiana U of Pennsylvania in '83. In my teaching years I published poetry and criticism. In retirement now, I ihave published a novel, "The Mind Keepers," and am working with an agency on publishing a Child's Novella "Tom Timpkins and the Mirrors of Fame." Short articles for on line publications are also in the works. I hope to join all of you on BNN.
