Ken OpalekeMeet Ken, WBYO's Director of over 32 years!
Currently on sabbatical. Ken claims to have partied with Bob Marley when he was kid (#PicsOrItDidn'tHappen - am I right?!). He was a provincial champ in badminton but his love for sewing keeps him grounded. His favorite movie is the Sound of Music, but he refuses to talk about it with former staff/very supportive friend, Loana because she got to tour all the places the movie was filmed in Austria. |
