For Ken, by Sarah Dunn
What do you say when he is gone?
Do you shout, scream, and let it all out.
Hold it in and slither about.
Was his life long, or short to you
Did he fill you with love, or anger,
Or some of both
Now, he starts a new circle in the circle of life, so
Wish him well!!!

Ken Dunn was my professor in State Tech and STCC nearly 20 years ago. Not only was he an excellent teacher, but was also a man of principle and conviction who believed in building students' character, not just technical skill. I'm really saddened to hear of his passing, and thinking of his family.
