Patricia: We just found out about your dad today. The last time we saw him was at Wakulla Station riding with Ed in his truck, with a big smile on his face. Lord knows how much he loved riding in that truck.....being Ed's assistant. It isn't easy being a caretaker, but you and Ed earned your wings. Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
