We need to thank some people who worked very hard behind the scenes on this. Most don't know Mandy, but Mandy Hammonds worked very hard on this and only knows about ten of us so say hi to Mandy if you visit Cave Connections. David Jones and his wife Monica were there around noon helping set up as well as Stu. Leslie Rankin and Stacy Martin also worked very hard on this so a big thanks to all of these. It was a great night and lots if fun.
Wish I could have been there. Great media coverage.

I wish I could have made it. I am glad all went well.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
It was a fantastic event!
It was a great event for a great guy and friend. Thanks all the volunteers and ASA.
Incredibly smooth and perfectly planned. The process, execution, and attendance was the a tribute to the love and admiration Edd commands.
Thank you to Steve, Kevin, and Stacy for all the behind the scenes incredible efforts.

It was a wonderful event for an awesome guy. Great job to everyone who was involved in organizing and setting everything up. I enjoyed meeting everyone.
I want to thank everyone who came out. I know many drove a long way to be there. It was a great showing for a well deserved award. Many surprises pulled off that night. I met a few new friends and found out writing an emotional speech with small font makes for a hard reading. No matter how many times I read through those words I could not get past the emotion. Edd is a great asset to cave diving and every person who knows him. I just don't think ASA could have picked a better person to name its first award after. Right place, right time. Of course that's how Edd rolls with it. Thanks again to everyone who came out I enjoyed meeting those I met and wish I could have had more time to mingle but dishes called my name.
Thanks to Stacy and the whole crew at CA and the ASA. A truly great night.

If you weren't there, you missed the look on Edd's face when he entered the room. Stacy had told him they were attending a retirement party for a local official. When Edd walked into the room, it looked like a movie opening with all the flashes going off. He was totally surprised
