Allen, myself and our sister Vickie Kemp grew up in rural Nebraska.  Our parents, Bob and Phyllis Kinsman worked for the McGinley Ranch in Keystone, NE for years before moving to Tryon and living on my grandmothers ranch.  We attended school and graduated from McPherson County High School. 

Allen graduated in 1969.  He was very active in sports and loved to rope.  He was liked by everyone who knew him.  He was so funny and was my best friend.

I still miss him as much today as the day he died.  I was stationed in Corpus Christi , TX when I got the news.
