Ken served honorably in the U.S. Navy and after his discharge he moved to Albuquerque where he joined the Albuquerque City Police Dept. He retired in 1977 at which time he and his wife moved to Conchas Dam, New Mexico. During the 1960's and 70's he was an avid bowler and at one point considered turning professional. After his retirement he spent a little time on the lake boating and fishing but mostly enjoying building on their home. His real love was traveling throughout the continental United States where he can boast of having seen each of them at least once.
