I worked with Ed as a Traffic Analyst to his Senior position in the ‘80’s. It was a dynamic time with many changes happening in the transportation industry, and he taught me and leant me his expertise. He said I was on my way in my career, but I gave him my resignation when my new husband was transferred out of province. I’d like him to know I completed my CITT designation. I extend my condolences to his family. - Posted by: Tracy Dunstan (nee Snell) (Co-worker) on: Apr 12, 2020
