In 1941 PWK was at the height of his 3rd career, oil prospecting. He worked in Houston, TX for Dr. E. E. Rosaire, initially at Independent Exploration, and then he followed Rosaire to Subterrex. It was his first job after receiving his graduate degree of Engineer at Stanford. Rosaire had a saying that PWK never forgot: “When any of you guys piss with your left hand, I want to get a patent on it!” In the seven years with Rosaire he received eight patents in electrical and acoustic methods of discovering oil.

Early in his military service at the Southwestern Proving Grounds, Paul acquired this book, along with many others specific to his then hobby, loudspeaker design. As with many of his books and scientific journals, he left his mark with “notes in the margins”. Mr. Bruce Marlin donated this book, which was given to him by Paul during his own engineering service to Klipsch & Associates in the 1990’s.

During the 2018 Pilgrimage, KHMA took the opportunity to reward our highest level members, the Founders and K-horn Corps. This year’s special event was a gourmet dinner at Dannie’s’ Café in the woods of Hempstead County. With KHMA staff, the total was about 30 people, which was the capacity of this quaint little venue (we had the place all to ourselves!). Richard Groves and Matthew Smith provided an outstanding selection of wines and champagne. Thanks guys!
