About Kenne
April 20, 2008 is this blog’s birthday. I have another blog at http://360.yahoo.com/kenneturner that I began in November, 2005. You can learn more about me by visiting that site.
I am not a “bluesman”, but I have always thought of myself as one. May I be blessed with love and music; poetry and books; family and friends; great ideas cultivated in the beauty of the nature. — kenne

Hi Kenne and Joy,
I hope you have weathered the storm and that the worst is over. Sure looked awful. Hope you didn’t get much damage…can’t believe all those people that stayed behind in Galveston… too scary!! Sincerely, Patty

Hi Kenne and Joy and Jill, I happened on this blog through Facebook. You haven’t changed at all Kenne. I worked for you and with Jill at Montgomery College and you were then and still are the best boss I have ever had. I get asked that question at interviews or from co-workers (I work HR/AP at the City of Oak Ridge North now) and I try really hard to describe you and how you related to us. I learned about different kinds of music from you but the most important thing was how I wanted to be treated in the workplace. You set the bar. It’s been great to see all of you on the videos. I’ve wondered about Jill on and off through the years. Thanks for the blog. I’ll keep checking in and keep on learning. Dale

Dale,
So great to hear from you — long time now, but I’m still trying to relate to people in activities of my own choice. The difference is what I do is labor, not work. I still have on our bookshelve the Nathaniel Hawthorne book “Our Old Home,” that you gave me. The book was the only non-fiction book he wrote, which was published a year before he die in 1864. Hawthorne, who served as American Consul in Liverpool from 1853 to 1858, writes about his English experiences in this book, which is widely considered to be one of the best books on the English by an American. So, the book serves of a reminder of you when I see it on the shelve. We need to get together sometime.
