Sometimes one does meet a "real" person in this all too virtual world we have created. Ed, your dad is as real as they come, and you and your brothers should be truly proud of that blood coursing through your veins. Your father is a gift to all of us who have "known" him over the web. He spoke his mind with confidence and flair. He reminded me of the best of men I have known over the years in my own unique profession.

I wish you and your family all God's strength in the coming days, and I count myself so fortunate to have "known" and corresponded with him here. All good, Joe Taylor
