"Big Ed" Rutsch

In memory of Edward Rutsch, renowned industrial archeologist, storyteller, and friend to many.

This is a public archive of the "Remembering Big Ed" Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Big_Ed/) that was set up for friends and family to share memories in the days following Ed's passing in July 2003. Yahoo Groups shut down in 2020, but before they did I exported all of the messages and files—which I've now cleaned up and made available here.

Unfortunately the messages have become disconnected from any of their attachments/pictures, but all of the file uploads are still available in the Gallery.
