Finally, Fatherhood by Jennifer Maloney
Newsday, 06/16/2006

Ken Kunken almost said the wrong words when he introduced himself to his newborn sons 16 months ago. For years, he had greeted children by saying, "It's Uncle Ken!" But as he peered that day into three incubators at North Shore University Hospital's neonatal ward, he said, "It's Daddy."
Kunken never imagined himself a husband, much less a parent. Paralyzed for 35 years, he can move only his head, right shoulder and left arm. But Kunken, 55, who despite his paralysis completed degrees at Cornell, Columbia and Hofstra universities, has achieved what he had believed impossible. 


This weekend, the Rockville Centre resident will celebrate his second Father's Day with his wife, Anna, and their triplets, Timmy, Jimmy and Joey. 

"I still have to pinch myself every day," Ken Kunken said. "It's the best. The absolute best." /full article/
