Ed Washington
Ed Washington is a kid in a man's body.
For years, his official occupation involved working with a toy company
to test specific toys on children to see how they react to them. He is a
man whose life is never boring. Married to Elaine Washington, Ed has two
kids: Marvin and Tamika, both of which keep him very busy. His wife
Elaine supports his leadership in the home, and the entire family has
some fun times along the way.
Currently, Ed is employed by Mr. Whittaker
as the manager of the Whit's End in Connellsville. His high standards
and good relationship with kids led him into the good financial position
with Whit. Ed spends much of his time running the Whit's End and
innovating his ministry there. As a former kid, he is able to
communicate and connect with them with no problems. He knows what makes
kids tick, and he is able to minister to them because of it.
Mr. Washington is best described as a
satisfied father, enjoying each moment as it comes and living life to
the fullest. He is an opportunity snatcher and doesn't want to miss out
on anything. His friendship with Mr. Whittaker is strong. Mr. Whittaker
and many others are able to pick out a hardworking, trustworthy man when
they need one. Ed currently resides with his family in a house formerly
owned by the one of the McAllisters.
