Ken posted these on Facebook and I had to share. What a great photo of 3 of the world's greatest engravers.
Ken taught Lynton and Lynton taught me. Winston and I were close friends and while he didn't teach me per se, I learned a lot from him over the years and have been passing it on to others.

I sort of met Lynton in the 70’s. He was at a gun show, I think in New Orleans, engraving a knife. I watched in amazement for at least an hour and would have liked to have talked, but his full attention was on his engraving. I was just a teenager then, but it was the moment that got me interested in engraving.

I had a class with Linton through the NMLRA in the late '70's in Lexington, KY. Then two with Winston and one with Ken at GRS. Wonderful experiences all. Sure is a great photo.
