Remembering Ed Waggener: Breakfast without Ed By Mike Watson Our community has suffered a great loss with the passing of Ed Waggener. Ed was an icon in the field of journalism and a great supporter of our history. He and his dear wife, Linda Marcum Waggener, have long supported local and regional historical interests and wrote regularly of the progress of research and preservation and the losses of landmarks and those who bore the standard for them, in the pages of ColumbiaMagazine.com, the only on-line source of its kind, and the daily news for so many of us. Breakfast with Ed at one of the local eateries was always a delight for me. We met once or twice a month, "after I finish my work", he'd say, usually about 8 or 9am. The conversation varied from history to business practices, newspaper writing to politics, and everywhere in between. These learning sessions, as I like to call them, often lasted about three hours, unless we struck out into the county for educational purposes--finding old landmarks and such. Today I had breakfast at our usual place, alone, contemplative. Our world is a different place now, without Ed in it. One might say a library burned down with his passing, for he was a wealth of knowledge in one man. --Mike This story was posted on 2018-09-28 13:47:26
