I knew Ed and Phylis when they lived on Miami BeachI worked for their Access Now nonprofit organization pro bono . They would come to my office, we’d have dinners together along with my wife. I admired them so very muchthey were remarkable, smart , humorous , courageous and were so easy to talk with about anything that would be beneficial to others.
Only my fondest memories of these two extraordinary human beings .
