Kenneth M Beebe - The Martha s Vineyard Times

The Martha s Vineyard Times Kenneth M. Beebe (“Ken”), also known as “Dr. Play,” the name on the business card he handed to people he met with his philosophy for living “Make play a high priority in your life, for if you die tomorrow no one can play for you, but someone can and will do your work for you” died peacefully at home in Vineyard Haven on March 19, 2021. He was 76. An avid fisherman and birder, despite the slow progression of Parkinson’s disease, he continued to double-haul through life, providing an inspiration to those he met. Ken was born on Dec. 14, 1944, in New London, Conn., son of Horace and Edna Beebe. He graduated from the University of Bridgeport in 1966, and went on to earn a degree from the University of Rhode Island and an Ed.D. from the University of South Dakota, thus putting the “doctor” in Dr. Play.
