SDPB was saddened to learn of the passing of Ed Jerde. Ed and his wife, Maggie, were featured in the Season 27 Dakota Life episode, "Greetings from Britton."

Though the two first met all the way back in first grade, they spent the next few decades living very separate lives. Ed stayed in Britton, becoming the town’s dedicated historian, while Maggie traveled the world as a Russian interpreter during the Cold War. It wasn't until Maggie returned home for a class reunion that they reunited and fell in love.
