I met Ed once. Nice man.
He is blind, and that gives rise to a funny story. (Ed confirmed to me that this did happen.) When he was on WRC in Washington, they were promoting a sponsor, Giant supermarkets, one day and he got his copy in Braille, but there was a slight problem.
Ed read what his fingers told him: “Take advantage of this special at the Giant at fill in location.”
Funny.
Giant stores are still everywhere in MD, I shop at one.
Let me know if you want on the ping list.
