One thing about head injuries is that sometimes personality changes after. The Eddy I knew was a bit angry, frustrated and (likely for the first time in his life, Eddy was a dooer from all the stories I was told by others around him) dependent on others. While I have no doubt that some of what he said was spun to his advantage enough others confirmed what I related, so I am willing to believe in it.

63rickert- Why wait to tell your understanding? Are there people still alive who would be hurt by it, or take issue with you?

CN moved the late summer I was there, from Broadway to Clark Street. It was made possible financially because Eddy finally "won" his worker's comp case, after a couple of years and what I was told were ex employees claims of a non work incident. Did Eddy falsely claim a work injury or was he mugged? In the end I don't care much either way. What I do care about is the comaraderie I felt there, the craftsmanship of what we made and the learning experience I had.

I am very glad these jigs made there way back into my hands and I have a chance to both build one more frame on them as well as try to find a new home for them. Andy
