In fond memory of Edwin O. Park



The quality leaves much to be desired, being shot with a silent Super 8 movie camera more than 30 years ago, then transferred to videotape, then to DVD and finally to this version. But for those of us who were there, it's a priceless trip back to the halcyon days of The Indianapolis News and our favorite copy boy.
Edwin's services will be at noon Saturday at the Hartley Funeral Home in Arcadia, Ind.

We very much enjoyed the video. It was vintage Eddie on so many levels. We particularly liked the occasional "clowning" shots and those that reminded us of the "fellas" that he worked with--and "fellas" was his way of talking about the men and women that he was so fond of. We really appreciate you remembering Eddie--he was special and so are all of you. Most sincerely, his sister Madonna Meyerrose, and family.
