Goodby Ed

My friend Ed Swenson died Tuesday, February 20 a little past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. "Dr. Ed" as he was known to all his friends in the fellowship. Retired physician, navy doctor, Mare Island ee, recovered alcoholic, Swede, genealogist, singer, member of Heritage Presbyterian - descriptors can go on forever. He has 4 sons and 1 daughter, a sister, and thousands who loved him. For the past 8 to 10 years I have been his AA sponsor. He was 80 years old and after two years of a downward spiral he was ready to die. I will miss him.
