Dear Linda,
Ed and I both grew up in Webster Groves, went to high school and then Meramec together, both working on the newspapers. I have many fond memories of him being my 'boss' as editor of the paper at Meramec. I had seen him a few times since then but obviously not since you were married. You have my and my families deepest sympathies.
Sincerely,
Richard Truesdell

Dear Linda,
How saddened and surprised I was to open the newspaper and see that Ed passed away! Although I haven't seen you for many years, I will always remember fondly the sweet fellowship we shared at CBS. My prayers are with you, friend.

Throughout the years and without end, you've always been a treasured friend. I will miss Ed reminding me that we shared Christmas Eve birthdays. We will miss his smiling face. You both have been so courageous. We will keep Ed and the family in our prayers.

Ed was a very speial friend from our days together on the Merame Montage staff, then at MU and beyond. Even in those early days, he was a bright journalist but, most importantly, a good man and a wonderful friend. It's been too many years since we've been in touch, but my mom would send me clippings any time Ed was mentioned in the paper, and I have wonderful memories of Ed and the "Montage/MU/Campus View gang". Our thoughts and prayers are with Ed's family. Sincerely, Kathy Cunningham Marts
