Passing of Ken Smith
By Harold M. Whipps Sr.

Sorry to hear about Ken Smith's passing.  I lived five miles from Ken.
He gave me a copy of a drawing of one of his Gavioli Violin ranks.
It's not in the greatest shape.  He helped me get started.  I learned a
lot from him.

I have a flyer that was responsible for my meeting Ken.  I can scan it
for upload to MMD if wanted.  It's from 1977.

It's amazing what Ken could do with a very small workshop.  He will be
missed.

Harold M. Whipps Sr.
Formally in New Albany, Ohio, now in Riverview, Florida
