Object Number - UPL 19739 - Zene L. Riley Circa 1944.

Zene was my father. He was a career military man. He met my mother--Mary K. Thompson--in her home town of Leicester, England while he was active in WWII. He served also in Korea and Vietnam. He had 5 children and a step son. Their names: Mary Anita (Riley) Norton, Terry Zene Riley, Deborah Renee (Riley) Saskowski, Eva Kathlene (Riley) Fujan, Steven Peter Riley and Gilbert Villereal Riley. Zene's second wife was Paz Pura Riley. He retired in Kansas and was as regimented in his pursuit of hunting and fishing and spending time with his family as he was during his long and decorated military service.
