The door was always open to stop in for a cookie and Pepsi. One would be hard pressed to go anywhere with Ed and not run into someone that he knew. Strangers where just friends Ed had not met yet!  Ed loved farming, gardening, and was incredibly skilled at restoring and collecting antique tractors.
