I hope you all had the chance to meet and talk with Ed Rowe who most of us referred to the Tarot Card Guy.  We have just been informed that Ed Rowe passed away on New Years Eve.  Ed was an integral part of the downtown mall for a very long time.  I remember long stories from Ed and I can tell you that Ed was a gifted storyteller, thinker and human being.  I hope you all had a chance to meet him.

A memorial service will be held tomorrow, Wednesday January 7th from 5-8pm at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar. His family will be present for the event.  

For a history of Ed’s incredible life, read Francesco’s story “Interview with Our Favorite Tarot Card Reader.”
