Ed
Mascot Emeritus
Now retired, Ed is pleased to have been part of The Viking Voice and proud to have been the paper’s mascot for eight years. He was born and raised in the slums of the San Juans, yet heroically clawed his way out of his unfortunate circumstance with grit, determination, and his two small fingers.
In his retirement, Ed is a valuable outside consultant to the newspaper staff. Even though he is no longer involved in the paper’s day-to-day activities, the staff still holds him dear to their hearts.
