Ken: I grew up in the midwest in a town called Kokomo, Indiana, which is about fifty miles north of Indianapolis. At the time it was a population of around 30,000, something like that. We actually lived a little bit outside of town in a suburb not incorporated at that time in Kokomo. So pretty much grew up surrounded by cornfields, and so as a result got to know my neighbors fairly well, neighborhood kids, we'd hang out and kinda do things on our own.
(Q: What did you guys do?)
Sports, like most kids. We liked baseball, basketball, football, so we'd have pick-up games after school, just walk around the neighborhood, get enough kids together, and have a game. I was fortunate in that I have a fairly big family, I have four other brothers, and we're all within a span of about five years and so when we were old enough we could have our own team or subteam anyway, and so it wasn't very hard to get pick up games of basketball or baseball or football like I was saying. |
