Never heard of him! Get well soon. 

Oh Poppy, it's because you're so young.  He practically invented the G-Bugle.  Gifted arranger, taught many horn lines, Kilties legend, and if I'm not mistaken, influenced how horn lines are judged to this day.

Mike Duffy did 71, 72, and 73, and if I'm not mistaken he is the only arranger to finish 1st and 2nd in the same year, 1972; Kingsmen and Blue Stars.  Kit Squires arranged 1974.

Ken Norman: Albert Einstein-meets-Andy Warhol...with a bugle.
 
Around 1976 he sent me a letter (remember how much fun those were?) that contained a frivolous mashup bugle arrangement he called "Star-Wocky...a commentary on Drum Corps".
 
As Shellmer was fond of saying, "Nobody can carry his pencil case."
