Date that you took interest in Kiting: 1996
The reason you took an interest:

Ken and Terri got into kiting after stopping by WindWizards and purchasing a couple of 6 ft. deltas for a romantic afternoon picnic of kiteflying, wine & cheese.  While they were sitting back enjoying the day, they heard a roaring noise coming from over the hill. Ken, being the inquisitive type, went to investigate.  He found someone flying a dual line sport kite and had to chat. The next thing he knew the flying lines were thrust into his hands and he was hooked.  Terri had no choice but to go along for the ride. By the end of that summer, they had accumulated 4 dual lines and a Rev. Ken has since graduated to a power quad.

We considered joining the club a few times, but could never make the events.  Then during the Fall picnic of 2001, Ken was driving home, saw the kites & kidnapped Terri for an afternoon of flying at Longview Lake (which is right by our house).  We joined that afternoon, and have been to several events since.  Now, Ken and Terri have jumped into the Club head first and have taken over the website responsibilities. 

In the "real world" Terri is a Graphic Designer and Web Developer. She also teaches Computer and Web classes at Penn Valley and Longview Community Colleges. Ken drives a ready-mix truck out in Lee's Summit and loves to play on the computer. They have recently adopted their first child, Craig, and have a foster daughter Adriana whom they are also trying to adopt. They have 2 cats and a beagle (Terri takes Craig & the dog to work every day).
