Clammers to honor one of their own: CPR class to be conducted in memory of ‘The Legend’

He was known in town simply as “The Legend.” Edward G. Lane, who fit the mold of a classic commercial fisherman and clammer, died doing what he loved. Lane, 60, died on Saturday, March 18, while clamming the flats off Conomo Point. But his death has spurred the commercial fishing community of Essex, Gloucester and Ipswich to gather to honor Lane by hosting a CPR class. The class is aimed at teaching participants to be prepared for a medical event, such as the one that took the life of their beloved friend. “In the wake of Ed’s passing, we’re offering the CPR course,” said Essex Harbormaster Daniel Fialho. “Clammers are a pretty close-knit group. I think the event opened some eyes to the need for some training.” >click to read< 07:43
