16 Mar 2007 Hi, I'm Eddie's only surviving son, Keith. I am almost 42 years old now and I am trying to find any of my father's kin or anyone who knew him, personally, as I would like to know more about him. His wife (my mother) passed away in February of 1993 and I have no-one to tell me anything about him, anymore. I have a son (Elijah) who will be 12 in May, 2007, and a two-month-old daughter (Isabella) to call my own, now. I can be reached via e-mail at wx_Nighthawk@yahoo.com or you can call me at 713.447.4800 (7pm-7am CST is free for me)... ;) Please write or call, if you know anything about him. Thanks and God Bless ALL of you! From his son, Keith Powers wx_nighthawk@yahoo.com
