Ken and Loretta were married on June 13th, 1968 and moved to Miami, Florida to start their new life.  After several work-related moves, they settled in Lexington, South Carolina where their two children were born. Together, Ken and Loretta built a loving and adventurous life while raising their children to be compassionate, strong and independant. After a few years there, the family moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where Ken enjoyed fishing, scouting, and a new career in the semi-conductor industry. In 1988, Ken and Loretta moved to Jupiter, Florida with their children after accepting a position of Design Engineer for Philips Electronics.
