Does Kenny's boy or any one close to Kenny still make his line of calls?

Kenneth Lee is not making them.  Perhaps he will someday.  I will ask him or Sally the next time I speak to one or the other, which I need to do.
"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game

Still , his name comes up in most turkey hunting conversations in my region .
Says a lot about his impact he left behind . I would love to see his family re -boot his call company .

But there would be quite a few in line to get a few.

Kenny Morgan was one of the greats. His two books alone show how observant he was of the turkeys he hunted. I read both of his books before the season opens, in fact I'm reading 'America, Wild Turkeys & Mongrel Dogs' right now. I wanted to get his little wood call, the one with a striker, now it's too late. Kenny seemed to get into a turkey's head. He was quite the turkey hunter. When he was alive he lived and breathed turkeys. I got some insight from reading his books. Yup, he was one of the greats.  :z-twocents:
We wait all year,why not enjoy the longbeard coming in hunting for a hen, let 'em' in close !!!

I saw one time a few years ago that they were wanting to bring his calls back, but I guess that is on a hiatus.

 I've done some looking and there was a Mr. Wallace that was soposibly going to build them but never could contact him. I bought 2 books from Mrs. Morgan and asked her by email but never got a response.

Seems simple to me guys. Did he actually really school anyone how to make the calls? Are they experienced doing so? If not just because the share a name and blood would not make me get on line. Idk if this is or isn't the case but food for thought. We're never buying a name, like the Morgan caller, it's the actual call.

A legend in every sense.  I would spend your time and money to get one of his authentic calls instead of a reproduction.  There are already some imitators of his calls, but none come with the iconic 'KM' or 'Kenny Morgan' on them.  Can't think of a better way to honor his legacy than to read his timeless words and find one of his authentic calls to take to the woods.
