I first met Ken and Susan on the Alaskan Cruise that Ted Grant was going to lead but declined after Irene died. We had a very social time and were in touch for many years after. Ken?s skill in printing was awesome and his contributions to the LUG from Oklahoma - along with Robert B's - enlightening and enjoyable. Requiesce in pace.
