Ed welcomed us even before we arrived, making it very easy to find his house and our room. He made us feel at home with access to his kitchen andcoffee, teas,and breakfast food. With his encouragement I played his ukulele and we sang old familiar tunes. He gave us tips on enjoying the area. The location couldn't have been better for us. Because his home is nestled in the redwoods in Mount Hermon, we were able to enjoy fresh air, cool evenings, beautiful scenery, and the conference grounds, all within a 5 minute walk! Roaring Camp and Henry Cowell State Park are within walking distance or a short drive. My 92-year-old mother loved it as well! Thank you, Ed, for making our stay wonderful!
