I will miss my friend, Ed. He is a living, breathing, walking, testimonial for retiring early and giving your all to something you enjoy. He lived for shotguns, dogs, writing, researching, boats, preaching, debating, travelling, living on the land, you name it. He is what we wanted to be and some of us are. I hope Nancy, Ed's lovely wife, does not give up on us. Ed's sometime friend, Bill Murphy
