Sad news. I met Ed in 1987 while stationed at Osan AB, ROK. He would travel to Osan from Kunsan and operate the club station when time permitted. Ed was exceptional at handling SSB pile-ups as he was first licensed while stationed on Guam. We stayed in touch after transferring stateside and visited when we could. We worked each other often throughout the years...I could always pick his voice out without hearing the call. Rest in peace my friend.
