Edward Carroll

By James Carroll

In the early 1960's Ed was working in L A, California in a factory where they printed silk screen products and was a supervisor on the evening shift. He hired Ralph Carroll to paint Murals on huge sheets of fiber board and would caution Ralph to be careful as the boards were heavy. Ralph laughed about Ed telling him be careful because the board would cut off his toe if he dropped it.One day Ralph saw Ed coming down the isle hopping on one foot and bleeding from the other. "Ralph I cut my doggone toe off" he yelled!
