*Ed's middle name, Edsel, is likely a reference to the car of the same name from the Ford Motor Company. This is presumably an inside joke, as the Edsel was the late 50s and early 60s car model, the name of which remains synonymous in popular culture with commercial failure. It might also be a reference to Henry Ford's son, who was named for the car. | *Ed's middle name, Edsel, is likely a reference to the car of the same name from the Ford Motor Company.

*Ed was involved with [[Elwood City Public Library]] more than once.
