I have wondered for a long time about Ken. I am one of those Crockett Crocodiles. I remember in the 6th grade when Mr. Tiner was having us run the 50 yard dash. One of my runs coincided with Ken and I wasn't sure what to do. He was doing his best to run, even boxing in the air. But he had this big smile on his face. As I look back as an adult and having worked with main streaming deaf Ed, Abilene Crockett was a great example of mainstreaming students!

R.I.P. Ken McClure. I will remember the practical jokes that you pulled in class, your sense of humor, and your smile.

So sorry to hear about Ken.  I am also a Crockett ex, and remember him well.  He was a fun guy to be around, and almost always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell.  I remember in the fourth grade, he showed up for football practice and Coach made him the team manager.  As far as I remember, he never missed a practice or game for the next three years.  What a wondeful spirit he had........RIP, my friend.........
