HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) Veteran broadcaster Edwin Lee Ver Schure has died. He was 76. (See photo gallery.)
Mr. Ver Schure started his career in 1963 at WHTC, moving in 1971 to WGRD and then to WLAV in Grand Rapids in 1972. Almost everyone called him “Ed” or “Eddie,” and sometimes, “Uncle Eddie.”
He was born on March 25, 1945, to a critically ill mother in Grand Haven, who died three days later. His biological father gave him up for adoption by Fred and Wilma Ver Schure of Holland. Ed grew up on the 200 block of 28th Street in Holland, with a younger sister Mary Lou Ver Schure, all of whom preceded him in death. He graduated from Holland Christian High School in 1963. Later in life he met his biological brother who, in a twist of fate, was also named Ed.

Holland Christian class creates gifts for staff with newborns
Six different staff members at the school have had children this year, including a set of twins.
As a new addition to the Holland Christian family this year himself, Woods teacher Michael Jacobs came up with a way to use classroom learning to provide a special gift.
His class of about two dozen students worked to build wooden rocking horses for each of the families in the building with newborns.
“I was looking around for a good project for teaching students safety, how to use the tools,” Jacobs said. “Being a Christian school, a big part of our curriculum is loving and serving others. I thought making rocking horses would be a cool way to do that.”
