Before WWll, Ed and I had a great time playing tennis and golf. When we were in service, I visited with Ed during Christmas when he was based in Amarillo, Texas. He was a flight engineer on B-29's and I was a fighter pilot. When his buddies saw my officer's uniform, they didn't know what to think. Ed informed them that this officer was his brother-in-law. Fun was had by all. The lord will bless our love one's and keep them in thy loving care. Frank and Nancye Tothill

I remember as a very young boy (when I was about 10 around 1954 or so) coming into the coffee plant to help my dad (Nevin) on Saturday mornings. We would arrive at 4 AM to get the coffee started for the work day as the salesmen on the coffee trucks would come in for reloading. Eddie was working in the office at that time.
I have many fond memories of this time.
Uncle Eddie is in my and Ann's prayers.
