I could be wrong but it seems like I remember one was Al and the other was
Cal or Calvin. I think they were brothers (twins perhaps?). I think Keith
was a good friend of Steve Bennet. Think they use to fly their KR-1s

I believe that Ken Rand's original KR-1 flew for some time with a small
windscreen (windshield) and another KR-1 (Homer Sanders) lost the entire
canopy in flight, later recovered it in a field, reattached it, and
continued to fly after that.
