David Knowles is the man. He is currently teaching a class at Clemson but it was mentioned during my conversation that he is from Arkansas. I googled him, and he is listed as a professor at the University of Arkansas. So the inventor of the y2k is Professor David Knowles. Thanks for the help. Be on the lookout for a couple new patterns from Mr. Knowles. I will be trying them on the Norfork and the White in March.
