It made me very sad to hear that Ed had passed when I logged into the message board today. Like all the comments from people that knew him, Im at a loss for words. Smokey was retiring from the Navy shortly after I arrived at COSL but we worked together a number of times throughout the years as TRW contractors and even some after I left TRW. At one point he was staying with me in my Reston, Va townhouse and driving home on weekends. He cooked some great meals and all I had to do was clean up! He will be missed by his family and countless friends.
