I am saddened to learn of Ken’s passing and I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Blakeslee family. Ken and I worked together for many years building ships in Virginia. Ken had a wealth of knowlege in a huge variety of subjects that always made for interesting conversation. Ken and I shared an enthusiasm for Formula One auto racing, and an appreciation for classic automobiles. His conversation and wit will be long missed.
