Leah and Ken then moved to Bloomington where Ken attended Indiana University and completed his undergraduate degree. Leah was by Ken’s side every step of the way, giving him the encouragement, confidence and love to help him get through school. Also in 1962, Leah started her career at the IU School of Business (Kelley). She started as a secretary and moved up into top management within the Dean’s office. After 39 years, Leah retired from Indiana University in 2001. Later, Ken attended Indiana University School of Law and Leah continued to help him in every way, both financially and spiritually. Leah was Ken’s anchor. Ken attributes his 55 years of success to Leah, as it is only because of Leah that Ken is what he is today. Leah cherished her family and friends.
