Lee, K. Brown was, as I recall, CT member Ed Brown's dad. I think I had a copy of an invoice for a Jet that the Browns bought around 1953-1954. To the best of my memory they lived in Summit, N. J. back in the day.

I checked back in the rosters I have back to 1992-1993 and Ed's not listed so appears to have dropped out of the club. I think he's still alive; I just can't remember where in CT he lived - Bill Cambigue, in Watertown, CT, might know where to reach Ed - Bill is listed in the 2008-2010 roster.

Ed used to live in Norwich, CT. I'm not sure if he still lives there.

You did have that invoice Alex. I bought a 1948-1954 Hudson Master Parts Catalog from you after you finished putting the info on line. That is where I found the invoice. That was a few years ago and I have used it many many times and hadn't seen it before. Just happened to open it backward the other day and there it was next to the back cover. Burried treasure for whomever is the current owner.

I received a PM from akcoop this morning, it may be found. Just waiting for confirmation.

Amazing!!!!!! I could remember who K. Brown was (probably) and I could remember the Browns lived in Summit, N.J. - but I couldn't remember where Ed lived. LOL
