On May 20, 1978, at the eighty-fifth annual alumni banquet for Saint Charles High School, there were five members of the 1928 graduating class among the 113 persons in attendance. The five 1928 graduates included: Kenneth Garrett of Mason City; Mildred Haynes Harmon and Leona Haynes Palmer of Des Moines; Dorothy Downs Shank of Mesa, Arizona, and Ruby Fulton Williams of Kingman, Arizona.

The last surviving member of his class, Mildred Maude Haynes Harmon, was one of two sets of sisters in the class. In response to a letter I wrote to Mildred, her daughter wrote back on December 29, 20 14, that Mildred did remember Kenneth, noting that he was a good student and liked girls. Mildred also thought that Kenneth was the only boy in the class, though the class annual The Echo in 1959 .listed three other men.
