For many years people have been telling me that I should document my stories of growing up in Greensboro, Maryland in a book. This narrative set forth reflects my memories and recollections of my childhood and stories passed down to me from family and friends. The title is a homage to my mother's family, the Edge's. They are an integral part of my childhood and ingrained into the fabric of my life. Greensboro is a small town, located in Caroline County, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The population of about 2,300 people has remained steady through the years and reflects the size of the town during my childhood and adolescence. Greensboro is steeped in history and there are many families currently residing in the town that go back for generations. The town's history is treasured and being preserved and maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers through the Greensboro Historical Society.
