    Murph: My mentor and my friend. Too many memories - I laugh when I think about us driving through Prudential Tunnel filming our plan to build fiber optics to MCI. There are still plenty of TCB manholes in the streets of Boston and I will always remember "This is Ed Murphy and I have a kinked fiber!" You got me a plaque on the bar at Shroeder's at 10 High. I thought we damaged The QE II on our sailing day on The Pokket. I owe you so much in regards to my career. You made life fun and I am just going to miss being able to shoot the breeze with you. I love you Ed! "Davey"
