And the old Heathkit clock still ticking!!!! Amazing!!


Ken Kuhlman, former "General Products" Heathkit engineer died of kidney
cancer on January 24th.

Ken grew up in Kansas and developed a deep love for electronics as a teen.
While he never got a ham ticket, one of the first electronic projects he
built was an operating telegraph system running between his and his
brother's tree houses. He graduated from Wichita State University with a
BSEE degree in 1964, and worked at Heath for over 25 years.

During his tenure he developed many very popular kits such as the GR-1075
Digital
Clock Radio and also contributed to the automotive products group, as well
as testing and development of the Heath/Zenith laptop computer products. He
was an avid car fan and had restored a 1957 Austin Healey, which he loved to
drive around on any warm day with the top down.

I was privileged to work with Ken a little at Heath, and for several years
shared office and lab space with him at Whirlpool. Ken always commanded
respect for his knowledge of most anything electronic. He retired in 2002,
but returned a couple of times a year to keep up and say HI. He will be
greatly missed by all of his friends, wife Judy, kids Tom and Molly, and 3
grandkids.
