He served in the United States Air Force for 23 years (1964-1987). After his Honorable military service Ed was a Veterans Affairs Rehab Psychologist until his retirement in 2001. Ed had many passions in life; his family, writing, reading, NARFE (National Active and Retired Federal Employees), VFW, Eagles Club member, all Technologies, Eagles, Civil War History, and of course Mickey Mouse were just a few of those passions. He was very passionate about discovering his and his wife’s ancestry and tracing their family lineages.
