Well baby here's what I remember about Kenilworth: it was anti-semetic and I only assume they had the same view about Black people. Rumor was Valerie was killed by her step mother. You forgot Laurie Dann. Donald Rumsfeld...lover of the Iraq war and short. I think Jewish and Black people can now live there. And the horrible car crash that killed I believe four or five seniors one night.
I read this article thinking it was going to be about Valerie Percy. It saddens me that her image and memory is basically a rung in the ladder for a writers self promotion.
Well written. So neat to see all the special places we went. A swing back in time is never a bad thing.. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I do remember the murder and always think about it when we drive past the address.
The Percy’s were friends of my parents and Mark Percy was friends with 2 of my brothers, Johnny and Tommy, Mark was supposed to spend the weekend at our house that night , i was only 7 at the time of her murder but I have many older siblings and remember that sad scary time in Kenilworth. Thanks for some great memories of Kenilworth, sure was a fabulous place to grow up!
My grandfather was friends with Chuck Percy. He actually built his tennis court that sat in front of the property right on Sheridan Road. I remember this like it was yesterday oh, because it was such a horrific thing. The saddest part is oh, there was never any closure. Rest in peace, Valerie

I had forgotten that we had to ring the doorbell 6 times. Great memories of growing up in Kenilworth. Such a tragic loss for the Percy family.
