Ed was a gracious host during our stay in Maine in early October 2010. Ed took us to one of his favorite spots along the Maine coast prior to dinner at Cook's Lobster House on Bailey Island, where we dined on a wonderful lobster dinner.
Ed loved his country and was proud to have served in the US Air Force during the Vietnam War and later as a helicopter aircrewman, in the US Navy who mentored many of us young crewmembers as an Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator and Search & Resuce swimmer.
