NDN KEN GOSPEL CD
« on: February 28, 2009, 06:59:57 PM »
NDN KEN'S son has compiled a gospel cd of Ken singing.  Many people did not know he had an incredible singing voice.  The family still has numerous medical & funeral expeses.  This would be an incredible keepsake to always remember Ken. 
 :band:CD is $7. Contact Ken's wife (Christy) Phone (409) 962-8324.  Once again the family thanks everyone who supported Ken. 
In Memory of NDN KEN window decals are also available for $7 each.  Please contact Tiffany Block (409) 728-7687. All money going to funeral expense!

Just how commercial is this poor man's passing going to be?

It will be as commercial as it needs to be to help Ken's family pay the massive debt from his medical bills & funeral.  It is ashamed that thousands of people did not just donate to Kens Memorial Fund.  Instead we are having to offer items of remembrance to get people to help a man who loved PNG & it's students more than anyone.  Hey, you are entitled to your opinion.  This is mine.  Thank you for your attention, support & comments. Regardless of their positive, or negative tenor.

I do not think it is very nice to call someone ignorant. And not to be rude to your family or to the memory of your father, but when my father passed away we had alot of expenses associated with his passing (medical and funeral). My father did alot of things for the community and was well though of (including by your father). But my mother and father planned ahead, bought and paid for burial/life insurance. The difference left over we (the family) paid or will pay for out of pocket. We did not ask or expect the public (or anyone else) to take on or help with the cost. Maybe that is something your father or family should have considered.

All though out this whole process I have kept my mouth shut out of respect for your family. But I can no longer continue to bite my tongue. I will now say that I know more than once your father would have his hand out asking for charitable contributions, something at a discounted price or for free. I know because he approached my father many times through out the years.

Now YOU asked for some answers. YOU said you wanted to hear them. YOU opened that can of worms. So here is your answers. Do not get mad at me if you do not like the answers!

What your father did for the students of PNG was great!  :clap: But do not resort to name calling or get mad at someone else if they want to let your father's memory rest in peace!

As I remember, members of the band and their parents came up with the various fundraising ideas on their own. We were the ones who volunteered to assist with funeral expenses. We were never asked.
The thing about being an Indian is that you're an Indian, no matter what. It doesn't matter if you play soccer or a tuba, it doesn't matter if you're on the football team or the drill team, it doesn't matter if you lead the cheers or the jeers. You're still part of that "Honor, Pride, & Tradition."

Bandkid, as much as I have always been impressed with your postings and your wisdom way beyond your years, there are things here that out of respect for Indian Ken's family various people are trying to keep to themself.  :-X If what you say is true, than that is very honorable for the band and/or band member to offer to help with funeral expenses. Just a person or persons should not get mad, call a person a name or be sarcastic if someone does not have the same feelings or want to support your/you'lls efforts. Again I am trying REAL hard to walk lightly and still stay respectful in the things I say.

I am not personally attacking anyone. If anything I have refrained from saying alot. My main post was a response to what Indian Ken's son posted. He is the one that was attacking Squaw's opinion. I agree, this is not a place for personal attacks and I feel this thread should be laided to rest along with the man.

I do not condone the insult. My only point is that in this particular case, the assistance was offered, not requested.
