Does Anyone Remember Ernest Haight

I believe it was Quilter's Newsletter Magazine that had an article in the early 1990s about Ernest Haight. This gentleman took up quilting after watching his wife and pieced and machine quilted (with a treadle, I believe) a huge number of finely pieced quilts, winning many ribbons at the Nebraska State Fair. He was inducted into the Nebraska State Quilt Guild in 1986. The Nebraska Extension Service once published a black and white leaflet/pamphlet with his method for machine quilting, starting at one side of a quilt, stitching diagonally to the other side, rotating the quilt 90 degrees, then continuing to the next side, rotating another 90 degrees, etc. But if you do a google on his name there is practically nothing to be found. How strange. Would love to hear more about this fellow.
