Hmmmm....I would have thought this was a GOOD thing. He also built an RV-4
(Do a Google Groups search on "ARSA Fighter").

If any of you don't know who Whizzmire
is, you ought to study him a little cause he bears watching.

Uggg, Ed is hard enough on the eyes just to glance at, much less
stare at. :-)

He likes to appear in photo-ops with EAA bigwigs...

I know Ed pretty well, and I don't recall ever seeing a picture of him with
any "EAA bigwigs." But he is a member of the EAA Homebuilder's Council, so
his picture has probably appeared in the EAA magazines. Also, he
volunteers as a photographer at Oshkosh, so you certainly might see him
around events where bigwigs are involved.

I've known Ed for a number of years, and we were both members of Chapter
441 here in Seattle. I don't think I've *ever* heard him "drop a name."
The most you ever heard from him along those lines was, "I'll bring it up
at the next Council meeting."

But wait...wait...I think I *do* recall seeing Ed in a photo of EAA
bigwigs. I originally thought it was a lens flare, down at the bottom of
the image, but it could have been sunlight reflecting off the top of Ed's
head! :-)

and he knows how to pull many of the ropes to advantage himself,
including trying to hide what they're doing this year at Sun'n'Gouge.

Why would he do that? AFAIK, he had no connection to the Fly-In, though I
don't doubt that he volunteers there like he does at Oshkosh. With that
experience, he might have a little more insight into the problems and
difficulties of putting on an event this large.
