Ed was my preceptor in the field when I started VBS 10/10/01. Gloria was my preceptor for the centers. I had the best of both worlds. Glo and Ed became Ma and Pop. Pop was the best name for Ed to me he was smooth, protective and they were great trainers that helped me become who I am today. This saddens me because in my mind I’m thinking everyone is ok just living their lives. Pop out there getting people record deals etc. He loved his music(Tu pac) and his coffee. Popalop rest easy watch over us hold things down until our time is up,we shall unite again.
