About Me
- Mr. Ed
- I'm 70 years old and have lived in the Akron-Tallmadge, Ohio area all of my life. For 10-years (1957-1967) I lived most summers at our home in Cook Forest, Pa. I'm a U.S. Army veteran (1971-1973). I collect many things such as: antique cars, antique firearms, movies, movie props, old newspapers and posters, Wyatt Earp items, Civil War items, John Wayne items, items from the old west including Native American items, just about anything historical. I've been married for 47-years. My wife and I have a son and a daughter and three granddaughters and two great grandchildren.

Grant's Death Mask ~
One afternoon, I stopped by for lunch with the Grants. I got to join them in a family picture ~
Grant's daughter, Nellie was there. She was a real babe! Old U.S. and I sat in the parlor and we had gin fizz's while he talked about his days as General and old Abe Lincoln. He liked Lincoln, but not Mary. He called her a "mean broad".I got to pose on the porch with them for a family picture. I told him I was sorry about coming in a T-shirt. Old U.S. asked what a T-shirt was. He liked being called U.S. Got a real kick out of it.
