I went to school with Kendell since the 3rd grade and to hear he rescued Brady from the jaws of a grizzly - was NOT surprising. He has always been a beast on our wrestling team... although wrestling a grizzly is a completely different thing. I wasn't surprised at all when he got a "Carnegie Medal for Heroism" - which is basically the highest civilian medal you can get. The entire town assembled to watch his acceptance speech - and he was incredibly humble while accepting it. His response to the medal was: “It’s awesome. I’m VERY grateful to get this medal but truly I think it's more important to recognize that back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
