[BC] Ed Burkhardt...

[Broadcast List USER]

Though I spoke with Ed many times, though not every month, over the  
two decades he serviced my stations, I never met him in person.

I never spoke with his wife until after he died.  She was very nice,  
no surprise.  I also felt bad when he died, and it was very sudden.   
Sadly, I didn't even hear from his widow until after his funeral.  I  
would have attended.

He was very helpful, and his fee was stupidly low.

He was a nice guy.
