Biography
Ken Lancaster grew up in Junction City, Kansas. In High School he was Junction City's best half miler. He received an Engineering Degree from Kansas State University. He was in the Army from 1943 - 1945. He was in the 97th Infantry Division and the 389th Field Artillery Battalion. His unit went all the way to Germany. In later years, my mom suggested that they go to Europe. Dad did not want to - he said that he had seen Europe from the back of a truck. We thank him and million others for our freedom.
