Galen Kind

 

Galen Kind was born on 10/19/1916 in Minot, ND to Hazel Spires Kind and Elmer Kind. He Married Gale Bambic and had no children, but he was a parent to so many cousins. I know my Uncle Charles lived with him for a little while along with Shari Spires sister of Deborah Fischer. He was a very popular cousin, most of the distant relatives have heard of Galen or have visited him. When we stayed over in Wichita to visit family we would often stay at their house and visit. Galen died on 8/17/1997 in Wichita, KS.

Jeri Vece was the daughter of Louis Spires Jr. Her father has done a ton of research on the Spires family and most of the research on the Spires family in Brown County Genealogical Society came from Louis Spires.
