Goodbye to a Good Friend

Cambridge-Somerville for Change Steering Committee member Ken Thompson died on May 24, 2013.

Ken is the main person who got me involved with Cambridge-Somerville for Change. I worked with Ken over several months during the national healthcare reform debates. I appreciated his dedication to healthcare reform.

The Steering Committee always benefitted from Ken’s clear his clear analysis of any topic that was being discussed.

I was always amazed by his ability to think of avenues not considered by the rest of us. Finally, I’ll never forget Ken’s commitment to both member and citizen involvement.
