Not sure what to say?

Rich and I only recently heard of the loss of Mr. king. We send thoughts of love and sympathy to everyone in the family. we have very special memories of our time aboard Sea Angel, it was a wonderful time for both of us. we were honored to get to know Mr. king, his friends and family. He was an amazing man.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. My Father was a classmate of Ed"s and vistied him in Arizona, and Oregon. They even took a litle cruise up the Washington on Ed boat. It is a sad day on earth but heaven has gained a special person.

My Mother Arlene Wright Dowdy was in Ed's High School class in Jetmore-my Grandmother Daisy Wright taught him in that one room Schoolhouse; he started the building project for a Community Center in Jetmore. My Mom shared good memories of their time in Western Kansas. -R. Dowdy Overland Park, KS
