Another Extraordinary Volunteer

This is a follow-on from Ed Black's statement on Blog Part1
Glad you spoke up Ed, you are an easy target for jealous mudslingers because you are so quiet.
People have no idea how much work you do, so I will list a few of your efforts I have noticed.  In every case you have also trained, advised, done plain old work, repaired and $ saved.
Ed is Chair of Security, also catches daily Security issues/headaches.
Ed has done bulk of work on Channel 63 for many years.
Ed led Investigations until recently, still takes the difficult questions and works closely with Claudette.
Ed advises on all Association questions.
Ed improves productivity by staying on top of the 41 computers at UCO and the UCO Reporter, lots of advice and repair.
Ed is the first called when lightning or gremlins attack the guard house computers and gate arm systems. He goes out in storms at midnight to restart systems and save us from often waiting for service people to arrive. (Try that mud slinging malcontents)
I like your business decisions that saved us on ambulance service (by negotiating that we could be self-insured) also paving, of course, it was the right business decision. It takes talent to look ahead.
Ed catches jobs when others resign, quit in a snit, or are ill. Treasurer, Channel 63, Investigations.
One last snapshot from a few years ago. "Ed up to his knees in hurricane flood water, standing on the West Drive directing traffic and clearing drains."


We thank you and apologize that you have to put up with revolting anonymous libel from those who would never do actual work for the village.

  1. On 2nd thoughts, I am only a casual observer, Ed has probably worked on every committee at UCO, feel free to add to my comments.

  2. I don't always agree with Ed, but he has my respect and admiration for all he does for Century Village. The malcontents complain of his running around UCO and doing things, but one thing is sure...I DON'T SEE THEM COMING IN AND VOLUNTEERING TO HELP HIM OUT.
    Complain all you want, but in my eyes Ed is the ultimate volunteer.
