In Memory of

From a very early age, Ed’s passion was digging and collecting rocks and artifacts and that interest never wained. After graduating from Schalmont High School, he attended the University at Binghamton where he earned his degree in Anthropology, Ed spent his entire career working as an Archeologist. His love for the field afforded Ed the opportunity to work in South and Central America early in his career, but the extensive body of work he produced comes from the Western US (mainly Wyoming) involving discovery, archiving and studying Native American sites and artifacts. He owned his own Archeological consulting firm centered in Rawlins, Wyoming for many years, later moving to Kemmerer, Wyoming to work for the US Bureau of Land Management, until illness forced his retirement.
To those that knew Ed best, he will be remembered as a fiercely independent, private person who valued close friendships. He was a true free spirit that marched to the beat of his own drum. Ed was also a talented guitarist, collector of music, and a voracious reader.
