Who is Ed Goldenthal? Maybe he’s remembered from the Garden State Yacht Club where he wrote musical shows for twenty-one years. Perhaps he’s remembered from the Army of the US, where he served on Hawaii, Guadalcanal, Fiji, Bougainville, The Philippines and Japan. During WW II he was always in combat. Were you one of his patients in a lifetime of Dentistry in New York? Were you in the Americans for Democratic Action where he was a founder? Were you one of his Senior students when he taught about FDR at Lynn University in Florida? Do you live at Concordia, NJ? Did you ever hear his music or see his wood-carvings? Were you ever at Tamiment? Are you a member of the Independant Family Society?
Wherever he’s remembered from did you know he had such an interesting life? Does everyone have such an exciting past? Reading his stories, many of which are true, you have the impression that you are reading something highly privileged–or that Ed Goldenthal is another Baron Munchausen.
