Kenneth on Ken and Margaretta Wells

Kenneth on Ken and Margaretta Wells

Ken and Margaretta fled from Thailand to India when the Japanese invaded. Kenneth was here when they reached this country in early 1944, and he found Ken a job with the State Department in the research section. What Ken did was much more "sedate" than what Kenneth did. "He was always respectful of authority, and I wasn't."
