I met Ed a few years back, he was educating me in the Parker shotguns. He took me to a gunshow and traveling to and returning he told me how he got some of his imformation on writing his books, I found to be very impressive. The knowlede and information this man has is just overwelming.
I hunt his farm with flintlock blackpower musket, patch and roundball, and he has seen some of the shots I have made, and he commented in his books I got from him. My last hunt with him hunting deer was the first hunt this year, and I will miss hunting with out him. I always told him what I seen on his farm, the pheasents, quail, coyote and cats. At the end of the day of hunting he would have me discharge my flintlock and that was a sign my day was through and I was safely out of the field and he would not have to come looking for me. I will continue doing so and as a salute to you at the end of my hunt day in the field.
The traveling, fishing, hunting and the people he met and most of all his family he held close to his heart. Friends like him are far in few between and I will always cherish his moments he spent with me. I am blessed to have someone of his caliber to alow me to become and take part of what he cherish so much. God bless you and thanks for the life time of deer hunts you allowed me to have and you overlooked my disabilities and treated me just like a ordinary man.
My deepest condolences and sympathy go to his loving wife Nancy and family.
