Chamber Chatter
Ed Chadwick, Chadwick Plumbing Services
7/20/2011
Perseverance is a trait that I admire in many people. Accomplished goals obtained by this trait create very successful people.
Ed Chadwick, Chadwick Plumbing Services, recruited my help about a year ago to help him find the owner of a 1978 Emma Sansom High School class ring. Ed had found the ring about 12 years ago while doing work at Camp Comer.
I made several contacts with the school as well as classmates during that time. But to no avail did the owner come forward.
Things changed for Ed a few weeks ago. L. Max Hammonds called to reclaim his ring.
As was the tradition, Max had given his ring to a girl who lost it at band camp after being thrown in the lake at Camp Comer.
Max never expected to see the ring again, and most likely would not have if not for Ed’s persistence. He was also surprised that Ed had not sold the ring given the current economy.
After meeting Ed, Max understood why he kept it. “That speaks volume for the kind of man he is. A lot of people would not even have tried to find the owner. I found my ring and I gained a friend.”
The Chamber is truly honored to have Ed Chadwick and his company as part of our membership. His dedication is exemplified in operating an honest, trustworthy, and reputable business in Fort Payne.
Thank you Ed for another reason to be proud we are all part of the Fort Payne family!
