“This is my hobby, my heart… I love the United States of America.”

This will unfortunately be the last chat that Ed and I have under this banner. For the past couple of months, Ed has been suffering with deteriorating health due to pancreatic cancer. It has been his desire to continue on as normal and we believed we would have more time together but over the past week his health has taken a downward turn. It’s been a wonderful run over the past 15 years but all things must come to an end.
