Description
I met Ed in front of the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. The stories he tells are extremely entertaining. He was once in a movie about firefighters, but only because he walked through the set to get home. A family member died in that movie, their face was burned off. He once carried boxes full of travelers checks worth $300,000, but didn't know it until after he moved them. After eating a $125 steak dinner, with a few of his buddies, he only left a few bucks for a tip.Rolleiflex MX-EVS

A man who can be
his own man, no need to doubt.
His eyes are blazing
his message. He will not be
over-awed by another's gaze.
