Kay (the ‘K’ in Mar-K) Sharp passed February 24, 2021

Kay was not officially a ‘bolter but if you ever had dealings with Mar-K you know some of who she was and her contribution to our hobby/industry. We founded the manufacturing company in 1977 that became Mar-K Specialized Manufacturing. While I got to play with the big toys in the shop she did the hard work of managing the company as president and general manager, taking it to become a leader in the industry. She retired in 2017.

Kay was my best friend and lover since High School. I miss her terribly.
