Conversations with Eddie Edmundson, Part 1

Date:

If you’ve been around Garretson awhile, chances are you’ve run into Eddie Edmundson at some point. As folk will tell you, he’s quite the character. With recent stories we’ve run in this newspaper, and things that have been talked about at the historical society, Eddie has been stopping by the Gazette on the regular, just to have conversations. He knows a lot about local history, about things he’s lived through and lived in. In all, we’ve had about a half dozen big conversations we’ve recorded with him, so putting them all into one article wouldn’t be feasible. We’ll split them into a short series that we’ll simply call, Conversations with Eddie.
