How It All Started
Whatever Happened To?
Kenn and his wife Kris were married September 22, 1967 at the Moody Church in Chicago. Kenn earned his degrees in Chicago at the Moody Bible Institute and the American Conservatory of Music in piano/composition. He later completed a Masters Degree in Choral Conducting at Michigan State University. Kenn considers one of his greatest career accomplishments as having served as minister of music in Brookfield, Illinois, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Lansing, Michigan (17 years), and Johnson City, Tennessee (12 years). But, his greatest life accomplishment are Kenn and Kris' two lovely daughters, and two wonderful grand daughters. For recreation, Kenn likes to bowl, and is quite good at it. And, Kenn and his wife like to travel. They have visited their missionary daughter, Kim, in Russia, Budapest and Croatia. Kenn graduated from Nixon Elementary School. He didn't have a part in the KP senior play, but Kenn played a piano solo at our senior breakfast. His favorite teacher was Mr. Bock. He thought Mr. Bock was a tough old bird, but funny in his own way. (Hmmm! Didn't I just read that someone else thought Mr. Bock was his least favorite teacher?) Kenn's least favorite teacher was Mrs. Maccallini. He thought Mrs. Maccallini was kind of mean and that she played favorites. (She did. I was one of her favorites!) Kenn's closest Kelvyn friends were Leland Hansen and Ronald Holzwarth, and he has fond memories of their campus Bible study meetings.
