There are few people I have know longer than Kent.  Cindy Olsen because she lived next door to me when I was 3 and Bill Sipe because we were in the church nursery together. I remember going to their birthday party in Kindergaten, I even remember the presents my mother bought because I could not see any reason to give new toys to someone other than yours truly. Mom got two plastic toy helicopters and I thought they would go great with my army men.. Growing up I ran around with both Kent and Keith.  Their house was always busy and full of boys just like my own. I could relate someone to  him and Keith because we both had lots of brothers. Kent was the quiet kid the teachers seemed to like and that was probably why he was picked to head the School Boy Safety patrol.   Kent was my locker partner one year at LHS but I do not recall ever running with him.  I remember him as being the quieter of the two twins.  I wish I had kept in closer contact with him the past 50 years but I did see him every year at the alumin tournament and at all the class reunions.  He was always there, steady, in the background just watching most of the time.  Rest in peace old buddy Bibsy knows you and Keith are probably wrestling each other in heaven. I bet you had to explain how Keith got that scar.
