Kenneth Robert Warner, Sr

Book excerpt: Kenneth Robert Warner, Sr.: Biography of a Faithful Man tells the life story of an ordinary man, though he really was extraordinary. Kenneth was born in 1933 in Cincinnati, Ohio during the Great Depression, grew up during World War II, and spent most of the rest of his life in Kentucky. He attended college and served in the army during the Korean War and then began teaching in the South during the Civil Rights disturbances. Kenneth worked for the U.S. Postal Service from 1960 to the late 1980s. He died in 2007 at the age of 73. During his life he really lived! Kenneth struggled to earn money and raise a family of five children, in spite of illnesses and other problems. Readers will also meet his wife, the author; his parents, Bob and Elsie Warner; his children; and other relatives and friends. Jacqueline Vater Warner wrote this loving tribute to her late husband. She was born in Newport, Kentucky in 1934 and lived most of her life there. She graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a bachelor of science in secondary education in 1973, and a master of science in secondary education in 1983. "I was number four of five siblings. We were among the first latch-key kids during World War II, as both our parents worked in an airplane factory. I am a retired school teacher. I taught 25 years in one Christian school, after two years in other schools. My husband and I had five children, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren."
