Ten years ago I blogged about renowned archeologist, and family friend, Ed Rutsch.

I noted at the time that, “when he died, a Yahoo Group was setup for his many friends to share their Big Ed stories. Because everyone has a Big Ed story.”

Yahoo Groups shut down 5 years after I wrote that post, but before it did I grabbed an export of all of the Remembering Big Ed memorial group messages and pictures so these cherished memories wouldn’t be lost.

It took another five years but, with the help of AI, I have finally cleaned up all of those messages and have made them all available so Ed’s many friends and family can read these stories and memories once again.
