I served with Ned in Scotland in the eighties. He was a good guy.
Absolve, we beseech Thee, O Lord,
the soul of Thy servant Ned Vollstedt
from every bond of sin,
that being raised in the glory of the resurrection,
he may be refreshed among the Saints and Elect.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
RIP my Friend...
Worked with ole Lead Head Ned at GG. Enjoyed my time working for him. Another good one that has moved on. :-[
Worked with Ned abunch in the 90s mostly at Grand Gulf. Spending shifts with Ned and Dale made it very difficult to stay out of trouble. Ned was usually the adult keeping us from being fired!! Being a great artist allowed him to come up with great ideas for t-shirts. He was the driving force behind the banned shirt "GGNS - Mississippi's Nuclear Circus"
for those how remember. I will miss him as will many that knew him.

Ned what can we say but he was always finding a way to keep us on our toes. had some good times and will miss him.
