When you had a conversation with Ed, you immediately felt that unlike many others, he was actually listening to what you had to say. Ed went out of his way to do things for others and while it never got him a seat at the popular people table, there were a number of girls his age that appreciated him for his good and caring nature. It was this and not good looks that allowed him to date several girls who had similar values to his. He was very happy to spend time with what other students called "plain janes" because most of them were smart, kind and considerate of others....
