Personal experiences with the name Ken

A good friend of mine's husband's name is Ken (real name Kenneth). From my encounters with him, he seems to be a pretty good guy and father. He is very nice. =) I've only known one other guy named Ken before, back when I was in the sixth grade, but I never talked to him. So really to me, he's the only Ken I've ever known.
