Susan, Thank you for your e-mail notifying me of Ed's passing. While I never met Ed, I did help him get back into the NY Society, and I was pleasantly surprised when he took over as Editor of the Empire Patriot. I never knew Ed had cancer, but I can tell you that he was pleasant and easy to work with; and, for taking on the newsletter with his severe health problems, he sure was courageous --just as he was in the military. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May God Bless You.
