Dale King was a very creative man. Some of what he did was to personally restore many antique vehicles and one of them can be seen in a movie staring Cliff Robertson, called "Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies," released in 1973. (Bernadette Peters also starred in that movie and he spoke admiringly of her.) He and his wife, Evelyn Lucille King, would occassionally dress in period clothing and ride in his restored cars, participating in parades in Kansas and Oklahoma.
He also restored antique brass traffic lights. In 1976 he showed me (his granddaughter, Valerie Ann King Lawrence) his collection of traffic lights he was restoring, sent to him from people from all around the world.
He worked for many years as a photo engraver for the Wichita Eagle Newspaper in Wichita Kansas.
