I had the good fortune of socializing with Ed and Joan as well as being a guest in their home on multiple occasions going back to 1990 when my family met them. <br />I always appreciated Ed's insights on many topics. I will never forget his crisp diction. <br />I am a better person because of my relationship with Ed and Joan.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577718485725901258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553799694247296931.post-22722070495355761202010-11-30T09:01:47.229-06:002010-11-30T09:01:47.229-06:00One of the things I have loved about Ed is the cou...One of the things I have loved about Ed is the counter balance he always gave, and I believe will continue to give, to Joan. She is truly an activist in the best sense of the word, but it is also easy to get her revved on almost anything. Ed always had a way of sort of grounding and centering her, and I believe they have been a wonderful dynamic duo. He will be so missed, but, too, I believe that his life will continue to reverberate and give focus and balance to the lives of many of us onward for years to come.

Who could engage in a flame war when he was present at the table? He coped with his physical challenges with dignity and rarely focused conversation on himself, but could make quite perspective-expanding observations when given the invitation.<br /><br />Thank you very much for posting your personal tribute to him. -- Jenny BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553799694247296931.post-13316621892625929872010-11-29T18:38:47.044-06:002010-11-29T18:38:47.044-06:00DSD - Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
