Thanks for sharing.

In my experience in the 2004 - '05 timeframe, Ed was always receptive and a good communicator. Once Ed left Albin, so did end user customer service. Fair winds and following seas.

I do remember Ed. When I purchased Afterglow he was very helpful with all my "newbie" questions.

So sorry to learn of Ed's passing. He was always most helpful and patient in responding to all my concerns when I purchased my 36ET. Even though he has been gone from Albin for awhile, I felt that I still had something of a connection knowing he was still around. Rest in peace Ed.
