Thoughts of Junior and Ed and pickup trucks and a trusty dog 2019-02-14 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Good friends Junior Stotts and Ed Waggener passed away within six months of each other and leave big gaps in both families plus many Stotts Construction and Columbia Magazine business associates and friends. On a fine February day almost a year ago, Junior, at left, and his faithful "wonder dog Lu," paid a visit to Ed who admired both the trusty dog and the big pickup truck.
