RIP Ed. Ed was a great guy. We shared many good times with the Alumni - especially our year long journey culminating in the 1995 DCI Finals appearance. Although often overlooked -our '96 and '97 drum lines were smokin! Ed also participated in several of my ensemble projects and developed into an excellent snare drummer. He was also well versed in American history which fueled some of our philosophical late nights. He was also a spectacular military model maker. RIP my friend. See ya!
