Of course my FAVE image of Team Kenan is THIS:

From: http://kenan.ethics.duke.edu/, which I like to pair with this:

And REMEMBER, they were TWO descendants of the THREE Kenan Brothers who landed on the banks of the Cape Fear River in the 1730s, who NOT bearing the Kenan surname were the HEAD of the American Psychiatric Association, and the shrink who collated all the studies to MAKE the decision, then REMOVED HOMOSEXUALITY from the DSM (catalog of all Mental Illnesses), in 1973.

William Rand Kenan, Jr. (1872 - 1965), whose charming but childless, horsey wife died early, and Mr. Kenan moved in with his lifelong male secretary, Schuyler Beatty, for the rest of his life.

Wrong Beatty

Cindy Beatty's under-wired lacey black bra (also left on my lawn that morning), graced EVERY Puerto Vallarta apartment or house wall that I rented (a kind of a TROPHY to MAMMARIES, no???)

Will Kenan HATED Wilmington, NC because of the ignorance and small-minded, petty hatreds of the White Society he came from here, and only mentioned the city in a sentence or two in his autobiography. However, he gave Kenan Memorial Fountain to the City of Wilmington:

And Will Kenan ALSO built Carolina Apartments, which was the most technologically advanced building in all of North Carolina when it opened in 1905 as a Hotel, hosting Royalty and Heads of State.

It is HARDLY that now under George Cutter's many years of allowing it to DETERIORATE. Trust me, I've LIVED THERE two years ago, and it was INFESTED with Narco-Traffickers and CRACK WHORES!!!

But HERE is William R. Kenan's legacy -- the GREATEST PART by far of Kenan Family support of Higher Education, and more and more, also the Arts:

Will's father, William R. Kenan, Sr. (seen here at 4 o'clock with psychotic eyes), took the ONLY Confederate shot at Lincoln in Washington, DC, missing, and LATER with First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington where he was then an Elder, was GREATEST CAUSE of the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898:

And THAT is what CHRISTIANITY has given Wilmington -- and also, now, RAMPANT HARD-DRUG ADDICTIONS.
