WASHINGTON - The tattered cardboard box wasn't much to look at, but inside were the remains of lives gone and worlds long past. The box belonged to my uncle, Milton McKenna, who died more than a year ago. In it were family pictures and letters, some going back more than 100 years, as well as scrapbooks and newspaper articles that summed up the lives of the Clements and McKenna families. There was the tiny picture of George Clements, Milt's grandfather and my great-grandfather, a handsome young man with pale eyes and a handlebar mustache, his miniature portrait encased in a silver pin stuck on a little, striped-silk pillow.

Carl O. Snowden, an aide to the Anne Arundel County executive and a longtime political activist, was given probation before judgment yesterday by a judge in Annapolis who convicted him of impaired driving and related traffic counts. District Judge John P. McKenna placed Snowden, 50, on a year's probation and fined him $250 for driving while impaired, negligent driving and not following the white lines on U.S. 50 outside Annapolis in November. McKenna said the punishment is fairly standard for a first-time alcohol-related traffic offense.

Crofton resident John P. McKenna was appointed last week to the District Court bench in Anne Arundel County by Gov. Parris N. Glendening.

Hackner to the Circuit Court this spring. McKenna grew up in Crofton and attended Arundel High School before graduating from Georgetown University and the University of Maryland School of Law. He was an assistant state's attorney in Prince George's County for seven years, then a county attorney there for three years before going into private practice.
