I've enjoyed listening to Mr. Eddie tell so many of his amazing life stories. I remember the perspective he brought to our office on 9/11 when he compared the looks on our faces to the looks he saw on December 7, 1941. I remember his WWII story of being forced to execute a “belly up” landing in a wheat field and how ...he laid low until a friendly tank came by to give him a ride back to base. Stories of how he skateboarded around the state capital and tested the “hot phone” installed prior to JFK’s visit to Nashville in 1963. I loved that when Mr. Eddie typed you a message, he TYPED you a message - on yellow paper. I loved when Mr. Eddie walked into my office to “discuss technology.” Which usually resulted in an opportunity to visit his home to set up DVD players, hook-up printers or test Internet connections. I am honored to call one of the most honorable men I have ever known my friend. Mr. Eddie represents why his generation was and is the greatest.
