"I recall as a child sitting with his three sons and other neighborhood kids at Ed’s feet as he spun one yarn after another; each more enthralling than its predecessor."
I remember looking so forward to seeing Ed's comments in the Gazette. You are right about his sense of independence. One day I was delivering him Meals on Wheels and he said he had to get his recycles out and I told him I would help. He said no need as he had devised a way to put wheels on the bottom of the bins and was so proud to show me how it all worked. What a remarkable gentleman!
Just passed this along to former residents who knew Ed through Our Saviour--now living out in the Midwest. An excellent article by Joel Gingold by the way.
Joel, I didn’t know Ed personally but your memoir brought him very much to life. I walk through the picture tunnel every week.
