Fellow 8th corps and fellow Philly WOW on our interim year 1978-79. Havent seen or heard his name mentioned once in all the years Ive been around Waydale/Greasespot.

Lifted Up -- I knew Ed back in 1975. He was in my twig in Bloomington, Indiana.

He and Jim Mc*ee were music students at IU back then.

If I recollect correct -- Ed played cello.

He tried to play my fiddle one time, and couldn't get it --

because his fingers were coming *at him*, instead of *away from him*,

to access the higher notes on the instrument.

So he put my fiddle between his knees (as you would do with a cello),

and played it beautifully!!!

He's living in B-town, Indiana. (Nice house out in the country).

About a year ago, I stopped by his house to say hi (haven't seen him in 30 years),

but he wasn't there, though I did get to say hi to his wife.

I'm headed for Indiana on Easter Sunday.

If you want to say hi to him -- PM me with your name,

and I'll pass the salutations to him. :)

David

Yea, I sent that PM, but a little too late. I didnt mention I also knew Ed before the corps at Indy. And, I'll never forget how during that Philly WOW year, the 6th/8th corps sister pair (they were actually sisters) who ran the non WOW Philly branch, complained to Ed and me about why we never asked them out.

Nope -- I got it in time. Saw Ed today, and he remembered you immediately.

He called you the "memory monster", or something like that!

Anyhoo -- he has your e-mail address. :)

If you see Ed again ... ask him if he remembers running in the mornings summer of '75 :) I think we did a little coffee house at his folks house once. They had two grand pianos in one room as I recall. Quite the talented fellow ... and he ran pretty well too. Of course he was always so dam positive and energetic ... LOL

I'll say he ran well. We had a touch football game that year in Phily. Ed was the opposing QB but he didnt pass much. he was very tough to catch.

Thanks David. Yea, I did pretty well on memorizing scripture.
