The first time I went to Ken's home blew me away! Ken was very accommodating and patient, while slyly checking to see if my skills were worth his time. Luckily I passed his inspection. I told him how much I feared making mistakes and he gave me a fully engraved rifle he had done and had me inspect it which I spent over an hour looking it over intently for any mistakes or anomalies. He then told me where to look and what to look for and I saw a few places that maybe was something amiss. His next statement floored me. He said " everyone makes mistakes, the good ones know how to incorporate it into the design or cover it up." I've enjoyed talking with him every time I could visit and sincerely hope he is doing well. I understand he is now in a rest home and gets around with a wheelchair and is not engraving any more. The last time I talked with him he was just recovering from a cold. I regret not keeping up with him, gotta call him soon.
