[Fot] Ken Gillanders

[Jack Brooks]

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.

Jack

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.
