Ken was my lifelong barber. I started getting my haircut by Ken when his barber shop was across Lynn Garden in the green building. I was 5yrs old. Ken cut my not that long ago. You always got a double bubble piece of gum and he will stick air house in your shirt to cool you off. He had drinks, crackers and candy for sale along with a few odd items for sal Ken was an avid Tennessee Volunteer fan and always had posters with autographs. R.I.P Ken
