It is a growing and widely accepted
aspect of modern medicine. Accord-
ing to an article published by the Pro-
ceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, “regenerative medicine has
the potential to heal or replace tissues
and organs damaged by age, disease,
or trauma, as well as to normalize con-
genital defects. Promising preclinical
and clinical data to date support the
possibility for treating both chronic
diseases and acute insults, and for re-
generative medicine to abet maladies
occurring across a wide array of organ
systems and contexts, including der-
mal wounds, cardiovascular diseases
and traumas, treatments for certain
types of cancer, and more.”

The Mayo Clinic says integrative
medicine, which regenerative medicine
is part of, “can help people with cancer,
persistent pain, chronic fatigue, fibro-
myalgia and many other conditions
better manage their symptoms and im-
prove their quality of life by reducing fa-
tigue, pain and anxiety.”

The use of stem cell therapy is some-
times employed as part of regenerative
medicine and Dr. Sikora plans to offer
the therapy in the near future.

“Stem cells are special human cells
that have the ability to develop into many
different cell types, from muscle cells to
brain cells,” according to Stanford Chil-
dren’s Health. “In some cases, they also
have the ability to repair damaged tis-
sues. Researchers believe that stem cell-
based therapies may one day be used to
treat devastating ailments like paralysis
and Alzheimer’s disease.”

However, according to the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, that “one
day” hasn’t arrived yet. The agency cau-
tions that the therapy is no cure-all:
“Stem cells have been called everything
from cure-alls to miracle treatments.
But don’t believe the hype.”

The only stem cell-based products
currently FDA-approved for use in the
United States consist of blood-forming
stem cells (hematopoietic progenitor

Spurrier introduced me by email to
Ben Howkins, author of “Sherry: Ma-

published by Spurrier’s imprint, Acad-
emie du Vin Library. Howkins stressed
sherry’s uniqueness, with a variety of
styles of well-aged wines available at a
reasonable cost.

“There is no greater stash of fine
wine in cask in the world, than in
the bodegas of the sherry triangle,”
Howkins said, referring to the region
in southwestern Spain that includes
the towns of Jerez de la Frontera,
Sanlucar de Barrameda and Puerto
de Santa Maria. “Dry sherries at 12,
15, 30 or more years [of average age]
are the wine lover’s equivalent of fine
white burgundy, but at a third of the
price,” he added.

Dry sherries vary from crisp, saline
fino and manzanilla to fruity amon-
tillado and rich palo cortado and
oloroso. All are made using the sol-
era system, in which wines of various
ages are blended to achieve consis-
tency and render vintage irrelevant;

Edward Bowen McLaughlin

Edward Bowen McLaughlin, of Vero Beach and Manhattan, passed away on January 4, 2020, surrounded by family and caregivers.
He was born on December 5, 1938 in Bridgeport, Connecticut to Philip Hicks McLaughlin and Sybil Bowen McLaughlin. During
Philip’s Navy service in World War II, Eddie and his mother moved to Pawtucket to stay with her family, spending summers with
them in Narragansett, Rhode Island. After his father returned, the family moved to Brooklyn, where they lived on Fleet Street at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. Eddie liked to remember taking the elevated train to Adelphi Academy as a first and second grader—on his
own and at a cost of five cents. After his sister Meredith was born, the family left Brooklyn and moved to Fairfield, Connecticut.
In high school, Eddie attended Fairfield Country Day School and Salisbury School, finishing at Milford Academy/Rosenbaum
School. There, his English teacher, Joe Alderman, became a significant influence helping to cultivate his love of literature and
language. With an interest in journalism Eddie attended his father’s alma mater, Brown University, and majored in English. He was
a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity. He also attended Salem College in West Virginia, where he studied Religion.
In 1960, Eddie married Marnie Gaynor and soon began his professional life at a training program with the Manhattan office
of Smith Barney. He commuted from their home in Riverdale and remembered seeing a young Lew Alcindor (later Kareem
Abdul Jabbar) nearly every day as Alcindor headed to high school at Power Memorial Academy. Eddie attended night school at New York University to further his
economics studies. Two years later, his sister Meredith helped him get a job at a small Wall Street brokerage firm, H.N. Whitney, Goadby & Co., where, as he liked to
say, he was given “a desk and a phone.” While working there as an institutional salesman in the early 1960’s, Eddie met Julius Rapp, who ran a small over-the-counter
firm. Eddie considered Julius, as well as Tom Knapp of Tweedy, Brown Partners, as generous mentors in the arcane area of value investing of inactive securities.
Before long, Eddie was recruited by the firm of Jesup and Lamont, where his remarkable aptitude for numbers and an insatiable curiosity about companies and
industries led to his promotion to partner after just a few months. He regularly lunched with Alan Abelson, author of Barron’s “Up & Down Wall Street” column, and
Archie MacAllister, a member of Barron’s Roundtable. Those were the heady days of Wall Street where, as Eddie recalled, the ethos was “never to make big decisions
after a two-martini lunch.” Eddie was profiled several times in magazines and newspapers including Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Florida Trend. He
gained the nickname “the Ferret” for his ability to dig up obscure but potentially valuable stock treasures. A fellow investor observed that he was more of a collector
of stocks than a trader.
Between 1962 and 1969, Eddie and Marnie welcomed three children, Mimi, Jonathan, and Alexandra. After working both sides of the Street as an institutional
salesman and a money manager, Eddie left Wall Street and moved the family to Easton, Connecticut. Along with fellow Wall Street friends Don Herman and Fred
Appleton he founded Southport Associates, and later Saugatuck Associates, managing money solely for family and friends.
By 1975, however, the McLaughlins were ready to leave the cold Northeast behind and moved to sunny Vero Beach, Florida. Once settled in at John’s Island, Eddie
and Marnie opened an antiques store called Victorian Accents. At the same time he continued to hone his unique investing approach and began to engage in local
real estate investment.
Eddie was profiled several times in newspapers and magazines including Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Florida Trend. He gained the nickname “the
Ferret” for his ability to dig up obscure but potentially valuable stock treasures. A fellow investor observed he was more of a collector of stocks than a trader.
Eddie and Marnie divorced in 2003. He later married Lisa Harpring, an attorney at Moss, Henderson and Lloyd in Vero Beach. Eddie was a true Renaissance man.
He was at heart a collector—not just of stocks, but also of art and antiques. He was pleased to have his Andrew Wyeth watercolor, The Steering Oar, featured in the
Vero Beach Museum of Art for the exhibition “In the Tradition of Wyeth: Contemporary Watercolor Masters.” Collecting fine wine was another passion. He was a
voracious reader of newspapers and magazines and loved movies and a wide range of music from Puccini to Motown to Rock ‘n’ Roll.
In Eddie’s 40-plus years in Vero Beach he served as Chairman of the Board of Atlantic Communications, Inc. and Citrus Broadcaster, Inc., as well as the John’s Island
Property Owner’s Association and Architectural Review Committee. From 1978 to 1989 he served on the Board of Trustees of St. Edwards School, after which
he became an Honorary Trustee. He established the McLaughlin Charitable Foundation, which supported many local charities in Vero Beach, Connecticut, and
Virginia. The Foundation was particularly influential in the formation of Ballet Vero Beach. His service to the community included participation in the Wahlstrom
Foundation, the VNA Foundation Board, the Treasure Coast Wine Festival Board, and the Florida Bar Grievance Committee. He was a longtime member of the Sons
of the American Revolution, the Quail Valley River Club, the Oak Harbor Club, and the “E-section” at Bobby’s on Ocean Drive.
Eddie was very proud of his ancestry. His maternal ancestors emigrated from Wales to Rehobeth, Massachusetts in 1640. His ancestor Jabez Bowen was a militia
colonel during the Revolutionary War and later became Deputy Governor of Rhode Island from 1781 to 1786. Another ancestor, William Whipple, represented New
Hampshire as a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, and eventually, as a representative from New Hampshire to the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1779.
In later life Eddie became afflicted with dementia. Despite the challenges he faced, a year or so before his death he penned a “Template Autobiography,” describing
career highlights and identifying the many individuals who played important roles in his success.
After his disease advanced significantly, Eddie spent his last months at Somerset House in Oak Harbor eating ice cream, smiling with visitors, extending a hand and
listening to his favorite music. The family would like to thank the entire staff of Somerset House as well as many private caregivers for their expertise and kindness.
We are forever in debt to Eddie’s primary caregivers, Barbara Monroe and Eddie Mae Leslie, both of whom were tireless in their care and devotion in the face of his
very debilitating disease.
Eddie was a loyal fan of the New York Giants and the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team, the New York Rangers and Islanders and Formula One. He
lived life large, and his many friends appreciated his congeniality, generosity, and quick wit. Most of all, Eddie’s devotion to the happiness of his family was palpable.
He will be deeply missed.
Eddie is survived by his wife Lisa,sister Meredith McLaughlin, cousin Philip Cox, children Mimi McLaughlin and Alexandra Amos (Jay), grandchildren Caitlin,Victoria,
Austin, Chase, Bowen and Annabel and great-granddaughters Charlie and Lilah. He was predeceased by his son Jonathan.

Elegant French connection along la rivière in Marbrisa

BY STEPHANIE LABAFF
Staff Writer

Ethel Haselton came to Florida
looking for someplace warm where
she and her husband, Forrest, could
get away from the harsh Chicago win-
ters. Her initial foray was spent with
a friend vacationing in Vero Beach.
That trip was all it took for her and
Forrest to put down roots.

The couple had lived in Vero Beach
for 10 years when they discovered the
Marbrisa development, explains Eth-
el. “There was a dirt road in here, and
I came right in and picked out this lot.
That was 21 years ago.”

A self-proclaimed “house per-
son,” Haselton knew precisely what
she wanted when she designed the
French-inspired, two-story riverfront
home at 741 Marbrisa River Lane.

“I liked the fact that all the houses
are different. It’s not a cookie-cutter
neighborhood,” she notes. Paired
with the meandering lanes that
weave in and out of moss-draped oak
trees, she had found the perfect spot
to build a home.

The stylistic elements of French has the house listed for $2 million.
