After graduating from New York City's Manhattan College, in 1947 Kenneth Appell moved with his fiancée Marcella to Washington DC to begin postgraduate work at the Jesuit-run Georgetown University School of Medicine. Living in an apartment on the Anacostia neighborhood's Ridge Road, just off Fort Dumont Park and across the river from Capitol Hill, while Ken attended classes Marcy worked at a large K Street real estate company. They spent four years in DC, during which time they returned to their old neighborhood in Astoria, Queens to get married, in 1949, and Ken graduated from Georgetown in 1951 with honors, including the class' gold medal in pathology.
