Genealogist and Historian Mike Watson writes, "I do believe my good friend and mentor, Ed Waggener, would have approved of this meal; similar to those I'd order when he and I would have our "late" morning meetings [7 a.m. or thereabouts] at local eating spots after his long, early morning work-outs at the keyboard. His order would be different, of course, but he would scrutinize, and approve of my selections." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
