The name of the gentleman that you are referring to was Ed. Ding Dong was correct when he said that Ed died about a year ago. Ed was known to many here in SJ because what he sold was legitimate unlike the crap that all the hawkers outside are peddling.

I have been going to the same guy for several years to purchase peace offerings for the home front. His name is Foster and it is a shop across town. He comes and picks you up and then takes you back to your hotel. I can not remeber the name of the shop but it has those little leaflets in the DR and Morizon, I am sure they are everywhere. There is a very pretty Tica on the front who I believe is part of the family that owns the shop as she is the one that takes the money. I will try to get the name of the place if anyone is interested.

Family provides information on the late Ed White
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A number of readers have expressed sympathy to the family of Ed White, a well-known resident of the English speaking community who died of cancer in Mexico.
His brother, Mitch White of Georgia, has provided the following information in addition to what has been published Tuesday and Wednesday:
Ed White, Born Edward Gilbert White, Born 17 March 1947, Bell Air, Maryland, U.S.A. died March 5, 2004,

Ed White
Tijuana, Mexico. Ed was born an artist, when he was 10 he was sent by his parents to a "special" art school. After six months at the school the teacher reported that he knew more about art and was a better artist than she was. She was not being coy; she was sincere. He got a degree in engineering design and Technical drawing and worked a few years in New York where in 1969 he helped design factory machines. It drove him nuts.
In the 1970’s he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he opened a night club called the Red Dog Saloon and from then on was known in Nashville as "Red Dog". He owned, The Red Dog saloon, The Kozmic Ball Room, The Last Chance saloon, and finally a club called Mississippi Whiskers. In 1972 he made the national papers when he lost the Kozmic Ball Room, one of the hottest clubs in Nashville in a pool game to a songwriter.
It was a pity when the IRS seized the club a week later. But as Ed said, well there you go. In the 80s he owned art galleries and Jewelry shops in Nashville, Jackson Mississippi, Oklahoma City and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

He also appeared in several movies and commercials such as:

1."Noi siamo angeli" (1997) (mini) TV series (as Edward White) ... a/k/a "We Are Angels" (1997) (mini)

2. "Natural Born Killers" (1994) Pinball Cowboy

3. "Hey Vern, It's My Family Album" (1983) (V) as giant boyfriend

In the 80s he gave up saloons and became an apprentice jeweler in Nashville to a man name Friedman. He spent the rest of his life making and selling Jewelry.

He went to Costa Rica, several years ago, was going to stay a couple of weeks and never returned



Pura vida,

Dman
