Uncle Ed and I were very close and I still miss him today. He lived very close to my family and he was the only uncle I ever knew. His brother, Uncle Beck, died when I was very young. I sailed or cruised with him many times in the various boats he owned. He never replaced my father but he was certainly a close second. Both he and my father taught me many things about sailing and seamanship. When I was in my teens, my sister Sarah and I would go to New York City for a Broadway musical with him.
