kleggo 138 #1 Posted August 9, 2021 I first met Ken circa 1981 when he was doing video / film for Perris Valley Visions. I was a student and would occasionally be in the same DC3 as them and would watch their exits in wonder. A few months later I bought my first non-round canopy, a double keel paradactyl from Ken that Visions was selling as they moved to squares. Fast forward to 2018ish, I saw Ken at an event at Perris, (Pat Works memorial) and as we chatted we discovered we lived ~ 1 1/2 miles apart. I would stop by occasionally to say hi. I rode by his house yesterday and was told that he died in Jan 2021 from COVID related issues. Blue Skies Ken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swovelin 11 #2 August 14, 2021 Thanks for posting Ken. You're right, Ken was one of the good guys. We'd known each other at Perris for years, but I got to know him better, and to appreciate his genius, when he and Bob Buehrer collaborated to build the amazing Dream Machine, the ground-to-air video system that changed the sport. RIP Ken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #3 August 16, 2021 Sad to hear of this. I knew him way back in the day, and my heart goes out to his family (especially Rhiannon) who I knew as a little girl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
