NO, he's never done this before!
According to reliable reports, Ed was working-out on an exercise machine at his Croixdale QTH in Bayport, when he suddenly - and for no good reason - ended up the floor!
He wrenched something in his back and needs physical therapy, doctoring and some "TLC" so he can get back to normal.
You can visit him in room 123 of the Gables (north wing of Boutwells Landing complex).
Or, give him a call on the landline: 651.430.7200 (ask Gables receptionist to transfer you to room 123, Ed Lawson)
