Tom,
You are right that there is little talk of Ken's work for the reason that few have played them. There was talk of KK when I did the AOTD of Murphy Creek last year (and by far was the most-viewed and most-posted AOTD thread at the time and I think still may be), as the Denver-area folks have played it.
KK isn't the only architect (Ken's mostly regional and most architect's talked little of are the regional ones) that is rarely talked about. How much talk is there of Gene Hamm, Tom Jackson, Willard Byrd, David Esler (until very recently), Richard Mandel, Kris Spence (some recently), Rick Robbins, Rick Jacobsen, Bob Moore, Tripp Davis?
There are posting architects here (including Mandel and Spence above) who aren't mentioned much because we're not familiar with their work. Also, a lot of current work is renovation/restoration, etc. that isn't necessarily new design.
