FYI - Ed was never a Chicashaw (sp?) pilot with Ray Wilson.  
Ed came to Monarch from Continental and he was Gen. Mark Clarke's private pilot during WWII.  
Dallas Taylor, for a while, flew top-brass in a C-54 also during WWII and knew Ed during that time.
The only pilots that were with Ray Wilson were; Art Sinclair, Bert Clark, Jug Jella, Willie Hurt, Johnny Myers, 
Don Bridie and Warren Heckman.  
There may have been others but not with Monarch/Frontier.
Just FYI
With Best Wishes,

I am kickin’ myself!  I should have been able to answer this.  At one time I had both John & Donna’s obituary.  
I do have a nice photo of them holding hands in front of the Cessna DC-6 that Ray Wilson had.
I absolutely loved them both!  They were close friends with my uncle Gib (Nesbitt) & Aunt Lucy from the WWII days in Chickasha (CPT).  
John hired me (and most pilots in the 1966 — 68 era.  I used to spend a lot of time over at their place listening to some GREAT stories.  
I said, "I sure would like a photo of you two t’gether!”  Donna went over and grabbed a photo off the wall.  
She said, “Here, this is my favorite!”  I felt awkward accepting, but she insisted saying there was ’nuther just like it in the bedroom.
Boy Howdy those two were simply wonderful folks!  I will pry the backing off and take a photo of the photo and send it soon!
John and former PHX Chief Pilot “Pappy” Clark were very close (also from the Chickasha days).
