He served initially as a belly gunner in a bomber and later as an enlisted pilot flying missions over enemy occupied lands in the Southern and Western Pacific theatres. Ed remained in the service and retired as a Major in the United States Air Force. Ed married Hilda M Kaneg, on October 15, 1954. After nearly 43 years of marriage, Hilda passed away on 28 June 1997.

After its acquisition Ed worked diligently with the many other volunteers to convert the facility for Museum and Library use. Ed also served the Central Valley Chapter in many other ways including serving as President in 1985 and 1986.

Ed also served as a delegate to the California District Council of AHSGR Chapters and served as Vice President, and Parliamentarian. Ed was a stickler for adhering to the rules and held the feet of those who did not to the fire. Please join Ed's many friends in prayer with the assurance of salvation through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Dear Listers, I am looking for someone who is familiar with the 1920 U.S. Federal Census for Cottonwood County, Minnesota. In particular the town of Mountain Lake. In doing the extraction of this town I have come across an enumerator who has written what looks like Taurien as the place of birth with the word GER written over the top. I believe that this is the Taurien region of Russia but I can't prove it. Is there are Taurien in Germany? There are approximately 300 families that will not be extracted if I can't figure this one out. If there is anyone on the list who has family members in Mountain Lake on the 1920 census and you know for sure that this is Taurien region of Russia please let me know. On a different note. I have looked at Powers County in Idaho for extraction. The problem is that about 75% of the county is not readible. The handwriting is to faint to read. Thanks, Gene Jenkins Selah, WA.
