Personal note from David & Sherry & Dinah

Dear all

We will hold Ed's funeral and burial and a gathering in Harper's Ferry, WV on December 16th. Dinah, Jean, Sherry and I picked Harper's Ferry since it was a place dear to Ed and he spent time there with many, many people. On December 17th we will toast and celebrate Ed's life in Washington, DC at a place that was meaningful to us. All are welcome to come.
