Ken and I worked on a children's book, Nigel, the Friendly Ogre together. I'm heartbroken to learn of his passing. I've been ill and am back in the saddle, a bit. Ken is an artist without compare. He took my words and turned them into the characters as they were meant to be. I'd like to contact Taylor once NIGEL is finished. In God's will, NIGEL will be a screenplay for video, kids age ten. My prayers are with ya'll.

I met your father in 1962 in Washington, D.C. and wrote to him all the while he was in Germany. We always planned to get together after he returned home from the service, but we never did. I remember he had a wonderful artistic talent. He was a wonderful young man and I'm sure he was a wonderful man and father.

Love & Peace to you during this time. Though I havent spoken to your dad in a couple of years, He is often in my thoughts. He was such a kind and talented man who so loved you all! His talent as an artist whether it was in painting or designing food creations, and his love of anything creative by his offspring & grandchildren will live in the lives of those he touched.
