Ed Muderlak

[Richard Flanders]

A big loss for sure. I had the pleasure two yrs ago of bringing him up to my house and treating him to my seafood pasta and showing him my modest Parker collection when he and Nancy were traveling around Ak in their motor home. He gave me copies of his books enriched me with his extensive Parker lore knowledge. It was a very memorable evening. Nancy had gone south with medical issues and Ed was alone in the motor home next to a local hangar belonging to a neighbor just below me who is an old friend of and who, as a young man, used to rent a house from Ed. I flew in from my project 85mi away and dragged him up to the house for dinner and talk. It seemed an opportunity not to be passed up at the time. I gave him a caribou antler to go with the moose antler Troy had given him and he fabricated a 'moosibou' for his extensive trophy wall on his barn when he got home. He was an avid and successful bow hunter.
