Review by Robert McCool

Although this book, “Fire Keeper's Daughter” (Henry Holt and Co. ISBN: 978-1-250-76656-4) is presented as a Young Adult book written by Angeline Boulley, it has many lessons to teach us, in a head-first, nose-dive into the Ojibwa Native Culture. Written very much like Tony's, and then Ann Hillerman's Navajo series of books, it gives us insight into a complex culture older than ours but set in contemporary times.

Edward Collins, age 87, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, August 12, 2021.  He was surrounded by his loving children and son-in-law.

Ed was born to the late John Collins Sr. and Cecil (Baughman) Collins on October 10, 1933.    

Ed was a veteran of the Korean War.  For his service, was awarded a Bronze Star.  He served honorably in the United States Air Force, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant.  He was a lifetime member of the Arlington AmVets and the Arlington VFW Post #4510.  

Following his honorable discharge, Ed married the love of his life, Marilyn Sue Collins, who preceded him in death.  They were married fifty-eight years.
