In the late 1950s, Kenneth Felts met a young man who became the love of his life.
Felts, now 90 years old, had not revealed that relationship to his family until a few months ago, when he finally told his daughter, Rebecca Mayes, that he is gay — a secret he'd been keeping for more than 60 years. It happened in mid-March, when Felts was quarantining because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The two spoke about Felts' first love, Phillip, during a remote StoryCorps conversation from Arvada, Colo., this month.
