....................………………………………………………………………
Joe Hoover: Kenny was a hilarious, funny, entertaining guy; and a good friend.
He grew up in Globe, AZ and worked in the copper mines for a long time. I was in touch with him and we got together occasionally. But I lost contact with him several years ago. The last time I spoke with him, he had injured his ankle at work, and had serious complications such that they amputated his foot.
He moved to Phoenix but since then I have been unable to locate him. He was having issues with the VA due to some records snafu. He was in country I believe from late August 1970 to August 1971. We were both in B Co. 25th AVN BN (Diamondheads) until they left Cu Chi. Then we were in D Troop ¾ Cav at Frenzell-Jones until it changed to F Troop 4th Cav and moved to Lai Khe.
