Though he enjoyed his time with Ebasco, Ed’s avocation has been mountain climbing.
Ed Henderson’s excellent adventures began when he saw a television show on mountaineering. After taking a Mountaineering Course in Olympia WA while at WPPSS in 1980, he proceeded to climb over 100 peaks in the U.S. and Europe, including Mt. Rainier, Wash.; Mount Hood, Org.; and the Matterhorn, Switzerland.
His service activities for the Mountaineers include being president in 2000-2002, the third largest outdoor recreation and conservation organization in the country. Ed has been a member of the Library, Northwest Environmental Issues Course, Conservation, Recreation Access and Alternative Funding committees. He's taken the Basic and Intermediate Climbing, photography and Sea Kayaking courses, and has earned various climbing pins and the Olympia Branch's Service and Stewardship awards.
“Mountain climbing is an adrenalin rush. It’s the camaraderie, the shared experience that I enjoy. The unsuccessful trips are more memorable. On a successful trip, you get to the top, see a beautiful view, then leave. On an unsuccessful trip, you get lost in the woods or slip on a rock face - that’s more interesting. My favorite climb is probably the South Early Winter’s Spire in the Washington Pass area of the North Cascades in Washington State.”

Ed,
I am a longtime Vintage Paper Dealer who is phasing out after 30 years of selling to museums,libraries, companies,websites and private collectors on almost any subject you can think of. Many have their own archives where they preserve this wonderful material and also frame for display and/or give as gifts.
I have a large collection of Vintage paper related to the Ebasco Company and its products ..mostly articles and ads from all publications and eras. I would be happy to send you a few items to look over before deciding to purchase..I have always done business in this manner and it has worked out for everyone...I save writing detailed lists and you get to view the actual material before you decide to purchase. {Prices are all under ten dollars... I also offer a lot price should you keep it all.}
Please contact me even if you are not interested so I can pass this on to the next person on my list.
Thank you,
Sandra Baker
Perhaps you could pass this on to others who might have interest?
Hi Ed,
I am the son of Bill Wallace who worked for Ebasco from the 50's to mid sixties. He was in piping and worked on the Indian Point nuclear reactor. Do you by any chance remember him?

Hi Ed,
Your name rings a bell here in my ancient memory domain. I joined EBASCO from Bechtel in the late '60s also at Waterford 3. I was with the start-up and commissioning group. At Bechtel and EBASCO I enjoyed the professional camaraderie of the Labor Unions leaders and workers, the Superintendents and Engineers on the job. Also with the accounting and and the clerical staffs. It was a very rewarding professional experience to have been involved with such great projects! I'm very grateful to have had that in my professional life. Although I don't recall having you as a personal friend during those days at EBASCO, I want to thank you and those like you that contributed to such a great time in man's history of great construction and engineering in the nuclear power plant industry. (No meltdowns... please!)
Best regards,
Eric C Rojas

Although EBASCO has done and gone from the landscape, we are very fortunate and thankful to those who safeguarded and preserved our pensions so that it continues to this day.
