We have copied his obituary for your review. A learned man with AMAZING Books and Paper. The Collection is VAST and will take some time to list them all. Col. Kenyon was born in Charleston, SC, to Gen. Howard N. Kenyon, USMC and Elizabeth (DeSaussure) Kenyon. He was the oldest of six children and spent his childhood traveling where his father's career dictated, including Panama and Washington, DC.

He married Inger Nielsen from Horsholm, Denmak in Cambridge MA on January 29, 1960. They met in Seoul, Korea while he was stationed there with the 1st Cavalry Division and she was working as a nurse in the National Medical Center. He was a career JAG Army officer who specialized in international law. His early work took him to Seoul, Korea, Heidelberg, Germany, Orleans, France, and the Pentagon.
