Edward A. Sax

Again I want to remember Eddie Sax, who lived across the street from me on South St. in Jamaica Plain, at the edge of the Arboretum where both our fathers worked. He was always underneath a big blue old convertible from the 20s I should think during the summer months. He would take the engine apart and put it together again. We had a nice friendship and I am glad that his life was good.

I knew Eddie Sax during the late 40s and early 50s when he was at Harvard and a neigbor in Jamaica Plain where my father Ivan Johnston also a botanist lived across the street from the Sax family. Eddie had a blue 20s convertable that he was always taking apart and putting together again. I was some 4 or 5 years younger but we were friendly. I am glad to see he had a happy life. My regards to his family.
