My condolences to the family members of Edward Collins. I worked with a Dan Goon in the First District in the early 70's. If in fact it is his father-in-law, my condolences to him and his family on their loss also!

Dear Pat and Peggy, So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Always enjoyed "joking with him" in our younger days about the Sox and Cubs. Looks like he's just about the last one to leave Meade St as I know it. Again, my condolences to you both and your families. Sincerely, Bud Austin
