Thanks for that moving memorial. Although I only knew Ed for a short time, we became good friends. Many a time he and I were the only ones in the chatroom, talking about all aspects of life, even got in a few lines about fishing on occasion. He was a true gentleman, and a great rod maker, even convinced me to try my hand at building, which I plan to do this winter. I miss him a lot, and your words brought a tear to my eye. Once again, thanks.

Mike
