My First Lamb was No Sheep
After Lea and I returned from the 1999 Conference in Freeport, Illinois, I took a renewed interest in actively looking for another knitting machine. On a trip home from a family reunion, I stopped at a flee market to inquire who had the antique knitting machine. I asked the question just as though everyone should know who had the knitting machine. The first person asked sent me to the other end of the row to look for George. George said, "Why didn't you call me? They are home in my barn." The following weekend, I went to George's barn and found a Gearhart Knitter and a Lamb Flatbed. I recognized the Lamb because Ralph Kanko had his on display at the Conference. I returned home with a 1966 Lamb Family Knitting Machine built in Rochester, NY. That is how I found my first Lamb.
