And we have to make our way to the starting line match up with the bell.
And while we're doing that, why don't we take a look through this beautiful old boat?
It's just a piece of architecture inside and out.
Really a sight to see right?
That's Edwards featured in an episode of Kentucky Life back in 1998.
And we're served as host of NPR's Morning Edition for almost 25 years, reaching more than 13 million listeners each week.
He earned numerous awards for his work and was inducted in the Radio Hall of Fame and the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame.
Mr. Edwards was 76 and an inspiration to all of us who've worked in public radio.
God bless him.
