    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Kenneth Felts recounts a life shaped by movement, secrecy, faith, family, and late-life liberation. Born in Dodge City, Kansas, in 1930, he remembers the Dust Bowl, Depression hardship, railroad towns, World War II, bullying, and early awareness of attraction to men. His story follows military service, education, work, marriage, fatherhood, divorce, and decades of suppressing his gay identity while building a conventional life. During the 2020 COVID lockdown, writing his life story led him to come out publicly, reconnect with LGBTQ community, and transform long-hidden memory into witness, advocacy, and self-acceptance.]]></dcterms:description>
