Farewell Ed Bradley

I caught snippets of Ed Bradley's memorial service, earlier this week, on the news. It seems New Orleans lost a great friend with his passing.

I learned how much he loved the city, its jazz music and musicians like Aaron Neville, Charmaine Neville, and Winton Marsalis, and that Mr. Bradley was known for attending the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (http://www.nojazzfest.com/), or "The Jazz Fest," as we locals are known to call the festival.

At a time when New Orleans could use all the good friends it can get, the city lost a great friend in Ed Bradley.
