From the 1953 Lucky Bag:
Central Falls, Rhode Island
Easy Ed arrived at Navy fresh from a year at Rhode Island University, but never let anyone forget that God's little square mile was still home to him. ... A great skiing enthusiast until the Maryland flats converted him to a rabid yawl sailor. His talents with a camera seemed to be surpassed only by his ability in handling an address book that was forever growing. The post office seemed to thrive on his incoming mail. He found plebe year effortless and afterwards coasted on to graduation. A Navy Junior, Ed hopes to don a pair of Navy wings. With his sincerity, good humor, and initiative, he'll become one of Uncle Sam's finest.
