It is with great sadness that I need to tell all of you that Ken Lowry passes away last night. Paul Schley called me this morning at 8:00am, that he just received phone calls from both Joanne (Lowry) and Donald, Ken's son. Ken was at home with his wife Nancy at his side, and I believe he was 76. I talked to him just last week, when he saw the new issue (Part 2 of the Deano Dyno-Soars history). He had just gone through chemotherapy, and was feeling a bit better afterwards. We just lost another great icon of the VW world...

Yes, Dean and Ken are back together... Just FYI, Ken's real first name was Leland. |

May Nancy (Ken's wife and soul-mate), their children and extended family, have comfort knowing that Ken's job here is now complete. Ken has returned home, to perform work for the Lord, Our God.
Respectfully,
