Poor Ed Masley

So, I’ve been going through my dad’s old letters. I haven’t really been reading yet, but just sorting them into different “categories.” Anyway, I happened to notice a certain name mentioned in a letter from my grandmother dated Feb 22, 1964:

That Ed Masley nearly burnt to death the other day. His house got a fire and he was in there. I guess he wanted to die. He called the fire department but still stayed in the house. He was just sitting in there with the doors locked.

This probably won’t mean anything to anyone who hasn’t been to Cedars in downtown Youngstown, OH, specifically the men’s room. There is related the story of Ed Masley and Greg Miller. This is a family friendly blog, so I won’t go into detail. Anyway, there’s my random, useless discovery for the day.
