BIENVENIDOS AND WELCOME
TO THE KENNETH COULTAS
(AKA - DON HO) WEBPAGE!
This site honors the legend and
legacy of THE finest product of the unique undergraduate experience provided
by Saint Andrew's Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, NC - THE ONE, THE
ONLY, THE MYTH, THE MAN KNOWN AS "DON HO" to those who knew him at
late '70's St. Andrew's!
This is one of the few rare photos known to exist
of Kenneth "Don Ho" Coultas.
If you are lucky enough to have more photos, please

Don Ho's career at St. Andrew's lasted
only from Fall Semester '77, through Winter Term '78, and only half
of Spring Semester, at which point he vanished, leaving only a trail of
drying feces and the stale scent of cheap cigarette butts to mark his passing.
There have been many stories about
the last days of Don Ho (not the singer, but Kenneth Coultas - the patient,
for all you SA grads out there) but no one has ever been able to piece
together the entire story. Thus, like other great legends, a mythology
has arisen to answer the many still gnawing questions the world has concerning
his ultimate fate.
Don Ho's brief but colorful sojourn
among the denizens of Mecklenburg Dorm ( as a group, no strangers to the
weird and bizarre) represents the zenith of that cataclysmic era known
in St. Andrew's history as "The Troubled Years." In many ways Don
Ho represented the prototype
of the modern undergraduate - in his stylish ensemble
of black wing-tip shoes, black socks, navy blue gym shorts, and flowered
Hawaiian shirts, Don Ho's utter disregard for convention, complete contempt
for hygiene, limited and beligirent vocabulary, and glaringly evident psychosis
defined the very essence of the typical product of the American Educational
System. He was a man ahead of his time. In the words of his
sponsor and patron Professor Ron Bayes: "He was a shooting star, whose
brilliance shown so brightly that it blinded others while causing him to
burn out far too soon." We couldn't agree more. Don Ho,
WE SALUTE YOU!
