Without re-telling all the complicated twists in the story - - Mr. Gehrlein died last fall - - the domain name was co-opted by another company - - but the bottom line is that the site is back, essentially as good as it always was - - at www.twenj.NET<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

I only found out about Ed's passing just the other day. I knew Ed over on the AOL travel posting forums. He helped me in 1996 with a goldmine of good travel information on Switzerland and hiking information.<BR><BR>I will miss Ed and his inputs to this forum!<BR><BR>Does anyone know the details of his death. Did Ed have an illness that few of us knew about?<BR><BR><BR>aka sunvol

I am pretty sire that Ed had cancer (maybe two different cancers, one on the heels of the other) for at least a year or more before he died.<BR><BR>There was an obituary posting on this thread:<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1326172<BR><BR>You have to scroll down quite a bit to read this (this is only a small excerpt) - - <BR><BR>Author: obit.

Rex, thanks for the link to the message center.<BR><BR>My first solo trip to Switzerland in 1996, I sent Ed an e-mail requesting some information. I got back much good information.<BR><BR>I know Ed loved Murren, as do most of us, but I remember once telling Ed that as much as I loved Murren, I'd rather stay in Wengen due to an easier access to other areas of this great area. I think Ed was probably right. Staying in Murren is better. <BR><BR>I'll never know as much about this area asED knew.<BR><BR>We'll miss him!!!!<BR><BR>
