This week was Ed Sloan's 78th birthday.

I have known Ed a long time and he is a gentleman and a great business person and a hard working person. I recently saw him in Greece and he looks the same as he did when I first met him and he is just as high energy.

Ed is a sort of person that everyone knows and loves. Ed is a guy that many people know and love. He has had a positive impact on so many people in the industry and I am proud to have him as a friend.

So, Happy Birthday, Ed Sloan. I wish you 78 more!
