Balloon Release

Celebrating Ken's Life

7.23.05


On Saturday, July 23, 2005 a group of Ken's friends & family gathered at Cuesta Park In Mountain View and released  28 gold balloons in honor of Ken's 28th birthday.

When I ordered the balloons, I told the man I didn't need the expensive helium because I was just going to release them.  His look seemed to indicate that might not be so environmentally correct.  I looked at him and asked "How can they get to heaven if we don't release them?"  He didn't need to respond.  Exactly!

It was a beautiful day to remember Ken and to hear more "Ken stories"

Thanks to everyone who attended.
