Mordy, your comment about "His 10 foot square spare bedroom had TR parts
stacked deep. Candy store." struck a memorable cord with me. About 6+ years
ago, on a business trip to CA, I took the time to drive up and take Ken out to
dinner. We had a delightful evening discussing a wide range of topics and I
too was struck by his "Parts Room". Wow, that was amazing.
I always treasured the rare times I was able to spend time talking with Ken. I
always learned so much.

Ken was always a gentleman, kind and considerate. He loved to relate tales of
the past and he did so with such passion.
My son chose Ken to interview for a project / story on Korean war Vets. Ken
loved to regail and Aaron was all ears.
Aaron and Ken hit it off on other levels as well But mostly firearms and
ammunition. It was common ground between them. Aaron would go over to his
house and chat about that stuff.
I think Ken was pleased to see someone who showed an interest.
Can?t recall his parrots name though.
