I did not know Ken Black but heard of his devotion. The connected collectors of the CF would gladly accept Harbour Lights doing some sort of "memorial" piece in rememberance of Ken, but I really don't know how a non-connected collector would accept such a thing.

There are a lot of great suggestions above. Perhaps adding a "...small statue of Ken in a Coast Guard Uniform(old Dress Blue uniform prior to 1973 current uniform) similiar in size to the Surfman statues" suggested by Rich may be the right thing to do. This commmerative statue could be added to most any piece replicated by Harbour Lights.

Another thing that could be done, along with the statue, is to add Ken's "K.B." initials in an inconspicuous manner on the piece that accompanies the statue. Sooner of later someone will notice the initials and wonder what they stand for. This would result in that person or persons learning of Ken's devotion to his beliefs.

Another option would be a specially designed version of a new legacy light with a likeness of Ken right on the piece. Perhaps he could be in dress blues saluting the colors which could be depicted at half mast in his honor.

There are so many things that can be done to honor his memory. It's nice to know that those suggestions may come right from the CF Family of Friends.
