You don't know what you've got until it's gone...

A touching memorial to Ed Rasimus.

Ed and I bounced horns a couple of times, but mostly I was just a dewy-eyed groupie who was tickled he even paid attention to my maunderings. There's one less empty chair in Valhalla, and we who remain are diminished.

I didn't know he had a blog too.

The world is indeed a smaller place. Sir, it was an honor to have had even the little contact with you I did.; 5:24 PM, February 17, 2013
Justthisguy said...: I'll miss the man. I left a comment or two on his blog, and he responded. That is all the relationship I had with him. He did tell us all about what a really cool airplane the F-105 was.

I, too, am not talking to Roberta.; 7:13 PM, February 19, 2013
