Ed and Barb Paine were my neighbors in South Shores. They lived two doors down. I knew Jeanie and Teddy and they were playmates with me and my brother David Clark. Later on I saw Mr Paine teaching science at MacArthur High School. He was a very nice man and I liked the family very much.

I was a colleague of Ed's when I taught Science at MacArthur High School back in the 1980's. I had many good conversations with Ed and remember him most as the school AV man. May his memory be a blessing to all.
