Ed loved the connotations of N:the title: the blessings of twenty-five years of marriage, the N:blessings of a couple growing old together, and the many rewards N:of family life. Ed admired Lou not only because of his musical N:talent, but also because he was a self-made man who set high standards N:for other immigrants who followed him to the New World.
