On a very sad note, Ed Jeromes' son Joe past away last week at the age of 24. (

I don't know if you know Ed, but he is the president of the derby who is normally seen around weigh in during the derby and presents the winners with the grand prizes (not to mention was responsible for re-establishing the derby a number of years ago and molded it around the derbys' substantial scholarship program )...
His son, Joe was a real good kid in all respects. The entire community is heartbroken for their loss.
Ed is a real leader in the Edgartown community, and he and his wife Mary Ann have given immeasurable amounts of time to the derby as well as educational contributions to the island, he was the principal of Edgartown school for a long time (decades, I think).
