Ed’s passion for the game of handball reaches back to the early 1940’s, when, as a 15 year old, he first started playing the game at the YMCA in Anderson, Indiana. Then, he finished highschool, went to college, then graduate school, got married, had children, and found himself at Kent State University. Now 30, he was reintroduced to the game.
Since 1957 to this day, he plays handball at KSU two to three times a week at the noon hour. The handball friends he has made over the years are many and he holds handball parties twice a year.
He taught all of his sons (Bart, Kimball, Mike and Gil) to play the game as well. Ed enjoys few things more than playing handball with his friends and sons. If you read between the lines some of the characters in his novels and poems express the influence handball has had on the author.
