I flew with Ed and learned much from his experience. He was a Captain on Midway Airlines. He was the best DC-9 pilot there ever was. We had many conversations regarding flying and our time in the US Marines. I am sorry I did not contact him prior to his departure into our next life. I miss our conversations and am so sorry for his family. I will always think of Ed. Gary Baxter, FAA, AFS-850.
