Ken had a generous heart, was a lifelong St Louis Cardinals fan, an avid golfer, and fisherman (highlighted by countless annual trips to Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas). He enjoyed traveling and hiking with Otie and their dear friends. After working his way through college, in 1958 Ken started as the bookkeeper at H.B. Reed & Co (which became Reed Minerals). He retired as CEO of Reed Minerals (a Division of Harsco Corporation).
