| Will Kayatin: Kayatin | I am Dr. Will Kayatin, son of William F. Kayatin Sr., grandson of Alex and Mary Kayatin of western, PA. I am 40 years old.
I have been disconnected from the Kayatin family tree for most of my life. My mother did not stay married to my father for any great length of time. I lived with my father in western KY during my teens, but he did not stay connected to the family with the exception of Margaret. She lived in Cheleroi (sp.), PA., and was the oldest of his four sisters. Helen was his other sister, but I cannot remember the names of his other two sisters.
My wife (Montana) and I now make our home in Jackson, KY, after stints at SUNY, NY, Univ. of TX, Texas Tech, and E. New Mexico Univ. Although a History professor by trade, I manage a regional campus for Morehead State University.
My father, William, passed away in 1982 at age 62, and was buried in Hopkinsville, KY. He retired from the Army at Ft. Knox, KY. He fell in love with the state from that experience and relocated back to KY late in life (1970s), which was when I joined him. He was a wonderful father and friend to me!! I think of him often, especially when I walk into the woods on my farm to deer hunt. It was something special that we enjoyed together.
I have an older, half brother Kenneth W. Kayatin (whereabouts unknown), an older half sister Jann Kajatin (Louisville, KY), an older half sister Cathy Campos (Chicago), and a younger sister Scarlett Kayatin (Dallas, TX). My wife and I just brought home a baby daughter Brianna Summer. I have a 10 year old son from a previous marriage who lives in Buffalo, NY--Austin William Kayatin.
I welcome any correspondence with family. It was neat to read everyone's comments and recollections. I never realized there were so many of us. It's amazing!! |
