RE: Ed Kecks pattern planes
Duane,
I knew Jimmy very well. He used to fly in our annual pattern contest in Harvey, Illinois as well as many others around Chicago. I recall that he was from Olympia Fields (or thereabout). I believe he had a small manufacturing company that produced abrasives for small die grinders or dremel like tools. I may have some old pics, but I'm not sure what kind of shape they are in. I did find one ofSir Lowenot long ago. Not sure this helps much, but I sure enjoy these memories.
