Thanks for posting the information on how to contribute . . .

I hadn't seen Ellen for a couple of years, but I can still see her smile and feel her glow. I started paddling at about the same time as Ellen so we shared many similar experience as we went through the same learning curve.

Stay strong Ken.

I was new to Seattle and hooked up with Ken and Ellen, about 10 years ago. They showed me around and took me on some great adventures! I will aways remember the Ken and Ellen show (as I called it). They were always up to a fun trip!

My prayers and thoughts are with the family!

Ken I hope to paddle again with you in the future!

For those who knew Ellen, at the bottom of her obituary notice, you can add a message to her family without having to register with the Seattle Times.
