MC,
I went to school with Ken Cole from the 7th grade 'til the 10th and he was a larger than life figure even as a kid!
I don't remember a lot but he was built like a superhero as an 8th grader.
In the 10th grade we moved across town but I would hear of his escapades from my new high school. Vegas was a small town back then even though we had 12 high schools in Vegas. By high school he huge and very tall. He fought a lot of people and only one antagonist from junior high bested him regularly. They were on a collision course to an ultimate war from the 8th grade on. This kid's name was Jay and he was a martial arts black belt who could do feats of fascinating physical things and everyone had a favorite. Jay or Ken!!!
I went to the same gym, Eifermann's or Chet Yorton's as Ken as we got older until he eventually stopped making news.
He will always be a legend to me!
