- Abstract
Ken and Katie married in 1953 and enjoyed 68 years of marriage before Ken's passing. Any catch-up conversation with Ken included a fond recollection of Katie and Ken's most recent forays together to explore some portion of the Oregon Trail or the history of Jayhawkers in Lawrence during the Civil War years. Dedicated to the very end, Ken continued working on manuscripts well into his 96th year and it was only at the age of 95 that Ken announced to his family that he planned to stop updating his curriculum vitae for the Department. While working at RMBL, Ken would host marmot researchers from around the world who came to learn about his study, and later in life, Ken travelled to visit marmot researchers around the world including those in Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
