Ed Carter,is a good friend of mine who missed the plane crash. He told me his story of how a few days or more before the game,his mother called Ed to come home to Texas...his dad was very ill. As Ed started to make plans to return to Huntington,to catch the plane to East Carolina,his mom warned him not to go...she had a very bad premonition about the plane. Ed listened to his mom's intuition and when he heard about the crash, he was devastated. He told me he always thought it was strange that he would always sit alone on the plane every game. Within a few hours, after the crash, Ed had to go on local tv to let people know he had missed the plane because they had already reported he too had perished. Ed and I attended church and college together at Tenn. Temple University where he graduated from seminary and has been very successful planting new African American churches all over the South. I hope he contacts me someday...I haven't seen him since 1977.I trully believe God has had a special work for Ed and his family!!

I met Ed Carter as he did a revival at Cherryvale Baptist Church in SC. He was preaching and he had a GLOW like no other man I have ever been around in my whole life. His ministry was call "Death unto Life Ministries". The church is in Sumter SC, so if you call that church i am sure you will be able to contact him because we supported his ministry. If you do, tell him Jeff Harper thinks of him often.....
