1. Sincere condolences to the Edwards family

They are in our thoughts tonight.

[unapatriciated]

2. They are a strong family...

that has experienced much loss and sadness but still continue to give to others. It's to bad that the public did not get a chance to see what Edwards had to offer as president. I'm still very proud to have cast my vote for him. Too bad DU can't stop the he said she said bickering long enough to show respect for his loss.

'... After graduating one year early in 1944, Anania served on the USS Quincy, which took President Franklin D. Roosevelt to meet British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin at the Yalta Conference.

Anania also served in Korea, where he was awarded the Bronze Star, and in Vietnam. In 1958, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for piloting an aircraft that carried 13 others to safety after it had been attacked by two MiG jet fighters during a surveillance mission off North Korea.

He retired from the military after serving NATO in Italy and moved to Chapel Hill, where he suffered a stroke in 1990...'
