I met him when I worked at a salmon cannery in AK.
He was the shipwright and I was tasked to help clean his shop occasionally.
You absolutely would never gess the red faced, crass, funny old fuck was anybody, just one more character in a place full of them.
I was refered to as "little fucker" or "kid" never by my name.
We became friends over the summers and I always got a kick hanging out in his woodshop, the smells of fresh cut wood and varnish on rainy days.
Another friend revealed Ken's secret when he showed me the picture in his office.
I could not believe it and never had the nerve to ask Ken, as a surly rebuke and hairy eyeball would be shortly behind, but I often snuck a peek at the photo, full of wonder.
Ken drank a lot and eventually died of problems related to his drinking, but it just goes to show...
You just never know.
