Wrote him a letter, shared a story from when I was a student in his Jacksonian America class, one of the best classes I took at HC. Few professors displayed the passion for history like Fr. K did in that class. I had a semester in one of his classes where not one student missed a class for the whole semester! He did take attendance, but I know that all the students in that class were memorized by his lectures and his bringing to life antebellum America. His love of history and Holy Cross will far outlast his days in the many lives he touched.

While I am too old to have taken a class with Fr. K, I had the privilege of sitting in on his guest lecture at Nichols College on the night of the 150th anniversary of Lincoln being shot. Fr. K graciously accepted my son's invitation to speak at Nichols where he is a history professor and was well aware of Fr. K's expertise on Lincoln having graduated from Holy Cross and briefly being a colleague of Fr. K's in the Holy Cross history department.
The trip to Nichols that night was well worth it and as an added bonus, Fr. K personally signed my copy of "Thy Honored Name."

Looking at my copy of "Thy Honored Name", I see Fr. K signed it with a note to my late grandfather, class of '51, and my grandmother, for all their support of Alma Mater. Glad I inherited that copy.
