[Chicago] Remembering Ken

[Lane Campbell]

so sad to hear that anyone in the community passed, much less someone so
young!

I didn't know him but I am happy to help those who did get to this if they
need a ride.  I am able to take up to three people in my car if anyone else
wants to go.


Regards,
Lane Campbell
