Back when Ken was getting close to turning over CAL to Mike and David, I stumbled into a mid-century modern antique store in Hayes Valley and among the Eames chairs and other artifacts was a little colored pen and ink drawing of a classic Coke bottle.  The shopkeeper let me know that it was from an advertising firm that Coke had hired in the 50s for a new campaign, and this was one of their drawings for a presentation.  I bought it thinking it would be the perfect retirement gift for Ken, remembering the glass Coke bottles he had delivered to the office and how that was his signature.  Well, I put it up on my wall, mostly for safekeeping, waiting for a retirement party or the right time to give it to him.  Then, as a specific party never materialized and time went by,  I started to like it and kept it for myself!  Now I'm glad I did because over the years since he left CAL it has hung in view of my office area in my condo and I'm always reminded of him, the business acumen he taught me,  and his engaging spirit.
