Ed, you gave me the "Mona Lisa" nickname... and always, when I play Bingo, I'm "Mona." Thank you for that, Ed, I no longer hate that song... and I like a lot more songs you introduced me to. Even country music! XOXO "Mona" Lisa Mellin

i met Ed when I first moved to Orlando way back in the late 1960s. We were playing basketball somewhere and formed a team and played in a city league. He was a talented big man and a great teammate. The kind of player an person you like to have on your team. R.I.P. big Ed. I don't remember much else about that team,but I do remember Ed and his competitive spirit.
