Kevin with daughter Alex & wife Jane (Kevin Williams, Townsquare Media NJ) A Satisfying Weekend – Hometown View
As a parent you relish in the success of your children in whatever it is they set out to do and their achievements and accomplishments are partly yours as well.

With that said this was a pretty good weekend for my two children and in one case we were able to be part of it.
