Kite king still soaring at 93 in rural Indiana
Ansel Toney, 93, makes large colorful cloth kites in a barn workshop in Farmland Indiana. He crafts 6 to 16 foot kites sold worldwide, from small delta designs at five dollars to geodesic domes at thirty dollars, with some designs priced higher through his apprentice sales. He insists he does not seek money or fame, only keeps his mind busy.
