Cleveland has lost some great people this year. Fannie Lewis, Stefanie Tubbs Jones, Paul Newman and Herb Score.
For me the greatest loss is my friend Ed Houser. He died Friday. His level of activism was unmatched. If you ever visit Whiskey Island, know that Ed Houser made your visit possible. He single handedly fought the port authority and kept them from selling the land off for private use. He believed the lakefront should belong to all of us. He devoted ALL of his time and energy to this mission.
So long Ed.

thats a nice little tribute to ed....I agree about having more access to the Lake for everyone in Cleveland....
Very sorry to hear about your friend's passing.
I recently lost a running pal who collapsed at NYC marathon and never regained consciousness.
Kona Shelley lost someone also.
