A message from MHOA President, Ken Reinhard: I asked Tim Zemens to spearhead an effort on behalf of MHOA -- Below is his message.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies & Gentlemen:
I have opened up an account at Bank of America. It is called the "Edd Baker Family Support Fund", the Account # is: 488019278115.
The account was opened to help Edd's family during this troubled time. If you would like to donate to help the family, you can go to any Bank of America and donate as you wish. The proceeds will go to the family to be used as they see fit.
To Lori and the Family:
We all share in your tragedy. Edd touched so many of us in a positive way. May we all earn the respect in our lives that Eddy has earned.
Sincere Regards,
Tim Zemens (Edd's friend and admirer)
