Just got an email that said Shulin has passed away.

He was one of my favorite teachers at TSJC.

My first year as a TSJC student was his first year as a teacher. I visited him 10 years ago, now wish I had spent more time. We are diminished.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I only dealt with him one time. A couple of years ago I dropped a blank off at his house and he shaped it for my over the week we was in Colorado. He and his wife spent about 2 hrs talking to us like long lost buddies.

I am sorry to hear about Ed Shulin. I went by for a visit in 1992 and TSJC hired me to take his place on the staff starting Jan. 1993. Ed helped lots of people wanting to learn stockmaking. He will be missed.

I was talking with a friend in Trinidad just yesterday, and he told me ED was not expected to make it very much longer. I didn't know ED had cancer, let alone it was very advanced. He will be missed.

That's too bad, I liked Ed. When I was a student at Trinidad, Ed was young enough that wanted to hang out with some of the older students. Hit some of the bars, of course we know that there aren't any bars in Trinidad.

I was doing the Rocky Mountain Elk Show in Albuquerque in 1995 and Ed asked me if I have ever thought of teaching? The next year I was signed up to teach at Trinidad State in their NRA Summer program. I will miss Ed.

At least 75 back in the '60s, in a town of 9-10,000 at that time....

I didn't know how many people were in town until election day. The state closed the bars and all those people were on the streets... They were waitting until the polls closed so they could get back in...

Yep, Ed was one of the good ones. The world seems like a little smaller place witout him in it. I had the good fortune of getting to know Ed and his wonderful wife Lee (an incredible landscape artist), when I taught school there in the 80's. He was always in a good mood and his sense of humor was infectious. His influence on hundreds of students in the stockmaking field will leave quite a legacy.
I will miss him.
