Ron & others: I purchased my first set of plans in '76 or '77 from Ken Rand personally when I lived in Irvine CA. I later exchanged these plans in to pick up revisions in '80 or '81withe him personally for a fee. Subsequently I lost my reciept and since my plans were purchased before numbers were recorded I felt I might have the problem with documentation as is being discussed here. I contacted Ms. Rand to try and resolve the matter and she retuned my call and we discussed the problem thoroughly and she said she would get back to me and she never did.
I do not know what the problem is other than perhaps Ken to begin with was keeping pretty loose records and so after his death the records were messed up. I know I had a reciept and it must have been lost through one of my multiple moves so what is one to do in such a case. I realize that this could look like a fraud on its surface but it is not. This is somewhat of a mute issue as I took over a project that has a plans number so I feel that I am legal however I have attemted to contact Ms. Rand to notify her of my aquisition of the project complete with the plans and she has yet to respond. that was done in March or early April of this year. Again what is one to do. I have two legitimate sets of plansthe way I see it but I also think an argument can be made that I do not.
