Howdy Tim,

 

I just found out about Ken's condition this morning.  My name is Michael Lindeau and I've known Ken since 1984 when we teamed up to form "Grass Plus" (I was the fiddle player)...  then, went on for many years putting together the Alaska Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association and throwing many a wonderful festival, as well as our share of parties... haha

 

I have some .jpegs of Ken and the Boys if you are interested.  I see that Bernard Glansbeek has already sent you some from those days gone by....  could you please send me Bernard's email address?  I haven't been in contact with him in years...

 

Thank you so much for putting your efforts into helping Ken's friends find him and help him.  He's really such a sweet sweet guy.  I've always loved him lots...  I'm living in Bloomington, IN now, so it was by a lucky fluke that I found out about this... 

 

again...  many thanks to you.

 

Mike
