Ed was my oldest friend. We grew up in the Normandy Apartments across from Walter Reed. Mary and Gerry were basically my second parents, and Eddie and Maureen my daily playmates. Ed's accomplishments in life were truly amazing - I'm sure he and Gerry are rejoicing in their reunion.

"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar."
My sympathy to his family. He was a nice man and a good sailor.

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he will be looking down on all the sailors at the DSC and watching over all of us and the great organization he loved so much. Safe seas and good breezes Dr. Duggan.
