The very likeable American came over to support the opening UK sound-off events in Bristol and Wembley at the end of the eighties and early nineties and became a friend to many in the industry here at the time.

Well, we've just heard that Keith, now Senior Vice President of Kenwood USA's Consumer Electronics Division, has been appointed to the Kenwood USA Corporation Board of Directors. According to the official press blurb, "Mr Lehmann has been an influential leader at Kenwood USA for more than three years, and brings over 23 years of experience in the consumer electronics category to the new Board position."

Kenwood USA Corporation has its headquarters in Long Beach, California - another reason to feel envious of Keith - and, is the largest subsidiary of the parent company, Kenwood Corporation Japan. Our congratulations to Keith on joining the board.
