Kent was my first real date to one of the dances at school. I think it was a Prom. I remember the dress I wore. Now I thought I looked like the dorky kid was. But Kent was a sweet fun date. He was a great guy.

Kent was a crazy great guy. I remember his '56 Chevy traveling on Hermitage road at the posted speed limit of 35 mph. He will be missed. Gerald Hagen
