When I was a little girl, many years ago! Your Dad was my doctor. I was always so scared and would pass out every time he had to give me a shot and even sometimes when I just had to go for a check up. As I got a little older and fiestier I would beg him to let me just swallow what was in the syringe. He told me it didn't work that way. I never was able to talk him into it but believe me I would try every time. He would give me the shot and then I would pass out. He always felt so bad and...

My dad, Winston M. Wood (passed away 01/21/2012 in Deland, FL) and Dr Dean Edson were classmates at West Lebanon High School, class of '33. Although their paths may not have crossed again, Dad often spoke of Dean Edson as a friendly / very outgoing classmate who loved sports in H/S. We wish the Edson Family our best during this time.

Elissa,
I met your father when you were a student of mine in MRI. He was a remarkable man. My condolences to you and your family.

Dr. Edison was a wonderful role model. I first met him when I played football at DHS in 1961. When I returned to DHS in 1969 to coach football with Gus Edwards, Doc. mentored me on injury care for players. I took his habit of never wearing a jacket to games or practices. God Bless.

Dr. Dean was my Doctor went I was a child. I will never forget his kindness to a scared little girl! You all have an angel to watch over you

Elissa, My deepest condolences in your loss. I will never forget how your father stood in for my recently deceased Dad at the Father-Daughter Spaghetti Dinner at Mill Ridge School when we were in 6th grade. Thanks for sharing him with me that day.

A true hero that served his country in many ways, making life better for everyone. Thank you for all you have done to better the world.

I moved to Connecticut in 1979. Played tennis at Germantown with Dean and three other players. I needed a family doctor. One of the players told me Dean did not accept new patients. I was in the locker room with Dean and asked if he could recommend a good family doctor. He said what is wrong with me. I told him what the other player told me. He was our family doctor until he retired. My family loved Dean. He was a great guy.
