Don’t miss one of the events. I told Ed once that I loved his humorous approach to his column. He said, “I can’t tell you how I do it, it just comes.”
His funny side was never far from the surface. Earlier in the century he asked me to write a column for Colorado Central Magazine. I asked if it was a paying gig, he responded, “Colorado Central pays a nickel a word, often late.”
Here’s the announcement from EdQuillen.com:
