No luck or showing off. Just a very fortunate young man.
Ed was my mentor and one of my dearest friends.
He taught me a lot. Not only about aviation but life
in general. I ran into his widow at the grocery store last
week. She bear hugged me and I just about lost it :cry:

I was either working on Sentimental Journey, or Carl Schmieder's T-6, or the Ha1112 at Deervalley.
