I did see the article so thank you for sending me he link. I also spoke to Ashley at the Phoenix Zoo shortly after the bench was unveiled. The article is certainly a keepsake and as has been mentioned, all of this group's kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity of my brother has touched us all very deeply. All tough Ed choose to "go it alone" after our mother past several years ago. It warms my heart that he had all of you and was so involved (it also somewhat breaks my heart, that he kept this part of his life hidden from all of us, not the love for rocks we knew about that, but his activities with this group, in our world Ed was a loner, obviously we didn't even know he was sick and that he eventually passed until the County reached out to us and we didn't know that he related to all of you, I'm glad he did, but his decisions were his decisions and that all doesn't matter so much, but it does hurt a little) As long as he is with his beloved Mother, Father and brother Ray and our LORD and savior that's all that really matters. When the weather warms up a little myself, my brother and sister along our families are planning a visit out to the Zoo to see the bench and have a time of remembrance. I will post some pictures when that happens. Later this spring or early summer my wife and I will go up north where Ed and our Mom used to live and we will scatter his ashes in the forest and bring complete closer to all of this. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude and thanks for all you did, it touched us all very much and ask a special blessing on all of you for your thoughts, prayers and interaction with my brother. God bless you all! Micahel

I thank all who made this happen. What a wonderful group!
I cannot read the article from the zoo. Can someone send me the article in a bigger font? I cannot enlarge it. I can enlarge just about anything, but not that. I am on a Mac. Magnifying glass just made it blurry.
Thanks, Pat

Pat Pat – Try dragging the picture to the desktop, then open it and click the green button, top left, for full screen. Any help?

Also, it looks like the newsletter link has “hit” the bed.
No direct access to it on the zoo website. Looks like you have to sign up to receive the Zoo's official e-newsletter.

I was able to get to this screen on the Zoo website that showed the newsletter. It allowed me to open a .pdf of the file and I was able to printout pages 10-11. www.phoenixzoo.org/wild-times-magazine/

parfive Thank you! It worked. I could read it on the monitor. Another well-done tribute to Ed.
