Title

Siam: Kenneth on When He Fell Asleep on His Hostess's Shoulder

Description

Kenneth took Margaret to Bangkok for the birth of their third child, Carol. The busy pace of life in the capital city quickly wore him down. One night there was a dinner party with the Horsts, the Proctors, and the Seigles. Kenneth was sitting next to Jeanette Seigle, who was on his right. Kenneth ate the soup that was brought to him, and the next thing he knew, he was waking up the next morning, in bed. He was told that he had been unconscious. Jeanette said she had been sitting there when suddenly she found Kenneth's head on her shoulder
