Is this guy related to Spence Kennard? He was the reader for the tab choir. He got booted ten years ago for something similar.
[I don't know re: relationship...maybe somebody else knows...As for the "boot," it wasn't abuse other than possible abuse of positional authority, per wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Spencer_Kinard), which mostly quoted the Deseret News:]
On November 1, 1990, the Deseret News reported that Kinard had resigned as vice president of news and public affairs for KSL: “Kinard has been the subject of rumors about his relationship with KSL anchorwoman Jennifer Howe. Allegations within the Channel 5 newsroom that Kinard advanced Howe's career at the expense of other KSL employees led to widespread dissatisfaction among the staff for the past few months. Both Kinard and Howe deny those allegations. Howe is still on the KSL payroll, but she has not been on the air since Oct. 18. She is visiting her parents in Dallas. After a weeklong series of meetings, Kinard was placed on a medical leave from the station on Oct. 19. He reportedly was suffering from overwork and stress.” (Original source: Pierce, Scott D. "Kinard Resigns as Vice President of News and Public Affairs for KSL". Deseret News. November 1, 1990).
Per Wikipedia, The next day, the Deseret News followed up with an article entitled "Kinard - At His Request - Is Released From Choir Post."
