One of the famed Down-Easters, Ed soon ac- quired recognition for his Magnetic Per- sonality. Surely, We all remember the magnet he carried on his name-tag during indoctrination. Ed again gained recognition in our junior year, when he became '4Striker At Large , a distinction none had ever held before, or Will ever hold again.
