I seem to recall Ed was using his straight gripped GHE this cold day in 2002. Not a great picture but here is Ed taking care of business --

Wow. Another great picture. Dave, what were you shooting that day? Do you have some more pictures you can post of that day "On the Hill"?

Jerry Andrews 12-24-2010 10:42 AM

I don't know them but I'll surely send a card to Mrs. Muderlak. I found the address on another post. Sorry to hear about your friend, Respectfully, Jerry Andrews

I was using the Parker Bros. look alike Philadelphia Arms C-grade. I only have one other picture from that day, but it is not of Ed.

Scott K. took EDM's former CHE duck hunting today, the gun that was featured on the cover of the dust jacket of "The Old Reliable". He took three greenheads, a black and a Canada goose with 6 shots. A guiding hand today on the barrels perhaps.

For those interested here is the link to Ed's Obituary, too soon gone but he lived a very interesting life.

He presented himself to be the true gentleman that he was. I know that he had some problem with PGCA, but don't know the reasons. I envied him telling about he and Nancy cruising the Bahamas and the Carribean. That has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I extend to Nancy and his family my deepest condolences.

-- George, my friend- IMO- for a true Southern gentleman such as yourself to also bestow that favorable comment upon EDM speaks volumes. I have a copy of his fine book- "Parker Guns, The Old Reliable" and I admire his scholarly writing style. I also agree on his collecting mileu- own and shoot fewer but those Parkers- original and unaltered as much as possible- also his choice of the 12 bore.

I never met EDM- but my sympathy on his untimely passing to his wife and family and many friends, both here on the PGCA and elsewhere- And I look forward to seeing you in April 2011 George!!!:bigbye:

Well said, Francis. Ed was one of those truly unique individuals who marched to the beat of his own drummer. There are far too few folks around like that now, and more's the pity. I, too, will look forward to meeting up with you at the Southern.

Best Regards, George
