Kenneth was born on November 30, 1937, to the late Abe and Ruth Harrison.  He made a profession of faith, was baptized and became a member of Antioch Baptist Church where he was still a member.  He graduated from Ballard Memorial High School in 1956, which was the first class of four years at BMHS.  He was a good athlete and excelled in basketball. His sister was a loud fan in the stands and could be very upset if she didn't think something was fair.  He also enjoyed playing baseball at school.  His sister Jane would pitch and bat to him so he could practice at home.
