I've realized that as the Walker cousins reach new stages in life, there is a bigger need for more frequent communication. What I have decided to do, is try to offer a solution. I've come up with a way for us to have an online bulletin board. This will be a good way for you to either share family information, or to learn something about the concerns of the family. Previously, our family updates have been made by phone and email, but occasionally someone accidentally gets left out of the loop.
Here is what I have been told. Herb's middle name is Kenneth and he was often called Kenny. One of the younger siblings pronounced the 'K' sound like a 'T', so it came out Tenny, rather than Kenny. The rest of the family picked it up and the nickname stuck.
The above written is true, but only certain people could get away with calling him "Tenny". I saw him react to those who in his opinion did not have that right.

I think it was Aunt Doris, who would say a T for a K.
Both of you are right. Doris couldn't say Kenny and the rest is history.
