Being a new Hunter Ed Instructor, I appreciated having the chance to work with Ken earlier this year at the Jr. Pheasant Hunt. His experience and vast knowledge of upland hunting over dogs, was most impressive. But I was stuck by his obvious passion for passing on what he knew. Whether he was mentoring new instructors, or developing the skills, ethics, and appreciation of wildlife in youth hunters; it was obvious to me that Ken was absolutely doing what he was meant to do. Ken has made a huge impact on our sport, and me as well. My only comfort is the idea of a place where the fields are endless, the birds are plentiful, and for as long as the dogs are working the wind, Ken will be there.
