I did not know Kendall McAllister at all, but Eugene Slater, whom I also do not know, posted the following in the Facebook forum Bethesda Chevy Chase Back In the Day: Anyone remember Kendal R. McAllister? He lived off Huntington Parkway on a street that paralleled OGT Rd......my oldest friend; we met in '60 on a school bus I very seldom took, but weather was bad, turned out he had an electronic hobby same as I, and so for a couple years we built all sorts of gear. I'm sad to report he died almost a year ago, I found out after calling his home/cell-phone for some months, and never getting contact. I found out on the net via the local newspaper. He was 68, had two wonderful daughters, highly intelligent and WELL OFF because of it. Thomas Stecher

Here is a link to an obituary of Kendall McAllister. As you can see, in his later life he looked quite different from how he did at BCC, but so do many of us.

I still have a picture of Ken from 5th or 6th grade, Bethesda Elementary--he was the tallest guy in the class, kind of quiet, very nice.

I'm so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I didn't know him well, but remember him from some classes we had together. My prayers go to his family.
