Hello. Dr. Odd here. I met Ed at the place I work. I think we met at the company softball because he was the coach. Well that turned out to be the spark for our current softball team that we have been playing on for I think 4 years. Ed is a fun guy and a good dude. The reason why I like working at this company so much is because of people like him and work aside - he is a good friend. You can drop him a line here. Ed Emberson
