Saddened to hear of Ed's passing. He and I go back a long ways to the late 70's, when he was still in the AF - I worked with him then and in later years as civilians at NSA. We went to coin shows together and he loved talking about NASCAR & his beloved VW bug. Kinda lost track of him after he retired, but will always remember him fondly. Tom Kotche
