Dear Gloria; I was saddened to learn about "Eddie's" passing, which I read about in the internet version of the Winnipeg Free Press. It is probably 40 years since I last saw you.There has been a lot of water under the bridge through those years. My memories of Ed go back to about 1949 or 1950. Often we used to walk to school together. I would meet up with him at the corner. The "good old days". I extend my condolences to you at this time on your loss and wish you peace and good health in the years ahead.
