Sgt.
Ed Husted....
We Salute You! |

Ed Husted, the official 82nd Historian and Web
Master, passed away on February 5, 2014 at his
home in Lily Dale, NY.
The former Mayor of Olean, NY, is survived by his wife Alpha, who
performed secretarial duties at many 82nd reunions. He is also survived
by 4 sons, 6 grandchildren and 13 great- grandchildren.
Ed was always up for a speech, and was passionate about WWII, the 82nd,
and the Battalion Association. Most of the writings, history and
narratives on this site were written by Ed over the past 10 years.
Ed also produced two DVDs chronicling the history of the 82nd with
interviews and member's stories from various reunions.
It's been said that "Ed never met a
microphone he didn't like." And at 90, Ed may have been the
country's oldest living webmaster (this site).
Ed is off to join his other brothers-in-arms.....all members of the
greatest
generation.... embodied in the men of the 82nd and their legacy......
Rest
in Peace Soldier......We Prevailed!
