Pastor Ed was my Pastor at Grace Brethren in Kenai. I remember the Sunday Polly came to me all excited; my daughter, Bugs, had asked Jesus into her heart. He baptized me in a lake (Goose Lake?) in the spring as soon as the ice went off. Very cold, and very special also. Very influential in my walk with the Lord. Pastor Ed introduced me to II Tim 2:2.He asked me to teach Sunday School first time. About 45 years ago. I'm still at it. I have taught other young men to teach also. He left a few tracks in many places. I guess you call that a legacy. I truly thank God for Ed Jackson in my life.
