Well folks, this is it; Ed's last show, prerecorded from his hospital room. Story here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3351743/posts

I started listening to Ed off and on in the 90’s. It began to be weekly around 2003 and a few years later decided to see if a thread on Free Republic would be sustained. Thank goodness for Gina who shares my love and commitment for OTR. I give this backdrop to say Ed has been a way of life. When I was on business trips I would still tune in Sunday nights wherever I was. There are countless stores of how Ed comforted people. One of the best is during a hurricane in Louisiana a man was out of power, hunkered down, worried, and was able to catch the Big Broadcast on his handheld emergency radio and find peace.

So tonight we'll hear Ed's favorite shows and get to enjoy him one last time. God Bless you Ed Walker and a lot of prayers are being sent your way. You've changed a lot of people and made the world a brighter place and for that we all love you.

So, let's celebrate Ed's accomplishments...

Thanks so much, Vision. Just reading what you wrote in your comment made me misty-eyed. It’s true. Ed is a treasure, and we will miss him more than we can say. Sad night tonight.

Thanks for hosting this thread, Vision. We wouldn’t have ever heard of Ed Walker without you.
