I went to school with Ed for 6 years, we were very close, especially after beening in Great Lakes NTC together in 1957. We were in different companies but saw each other almost daily for 8 weeks. We were both homesick but helped each other talking about LEHS and cars. I moved from Asheville in 1968 but have always kept the memories of Ed close to my heart. My condolences to his family for your loss. Ed was a great guy.
