Kenney was my cousin and as we were the same age, worked at the Midland Theatre together and had homeroom together, we became very good friends. I am glad to see that our class has done it's part to honor the Vietnam Vets who died in service during a very controversal war. God bless our vets and their families and THE CLASS OF 1968
