Ed Brandstetter was a great guy and a generous Uncle. He was especially good to me. He gave me my first real job. I remember one time when he accidentally left his lunchbox on the treads of the dozer, resulting in a lunch box the width of a MacBook with a sandwich gushing out. Ed took the whole thing in stride. We probably went to Frisch's.
BTW, notice that Joe and I have Ed's eyes.
I will see you Friday, if not before. Hang in there. Love you all.
