[Nfbc-info] Ed Eames

[Bryan Bashin]

I last visited Ed and Tony at their Fresno home perhaps four years 
ago.  They were warm, engaged and treated me to an ad hoc dinner they 
cooked that evening.  Ed always had the energy and enthusiasm of a 
man in his  fifties, so I was astonished then to learn he was already 
in his early 70s.

Eames have been tireless advocates for the rights of people using 
guide dogs and perhaps CAGDU or our affiliate in general could find 
some way to memorialize their passion with some action?

Cordially,

BryanEd and Tony
