Ted, Ken did a beautiful job on a set of Parker twist barrels and that's what inspired me to send the nightmare barrels to him. And to make it worse Dennis Potter had a customer who wanted his damascus barrels refinished. Without hesitation I recommended Ken. That was all right before the "problem" began. To make it worse we all paid in full in advance. Dennis also spent a couple years trying to get his customer's barrels back. Finally, as memory serves me, his customer made a long drive to Ken's and took possession of what was his. Evidently Ken was incredibly sick and the little his cousin offered today indicated Ken was extremely sick and spent years in facilities and underwent a couple of amputations. I think I'm going to give him a pass on this one. Heavy medications can do some strange things to people.
