Now: Kenny says (5/04), " I left radio in 1997
to complete my B.S. in secondary education and my M.A. in Education, but I still do voice
work. I work for Clarion County high schools teaching reconnecting youth (a program for
students at-risk of dropping out); and I chair the Clarion County Youth board. Most asked
question: 'Do you miss it?' Of course I do. My time at DVE was like hitting the lottery.
It's taken me 10 plus years to really appreciate what I had and the people I worked with.
I regret the swelling of my head that came with the job. When my path crosses with those
wonderful people, 'I'm sorry if I ever acted like a horses arse', is stated from my heart
with my hand shake."
