Acknowledgement
Prior editions of
the book were written by Ed “Fast Eddie” Kuwatch,
at one time the best-known commentator on drunk driving law in California.
Ed was always a maverick, constantly
keeping governmental agencies and judges in check. From his mother Rosalie
(Quint) Kuwatch (1912-1997), who was raised in a brewpub speakeasy near the
Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati, Ohio,
Ed developed a healthy cynicism toward law enforcement, judges, the news media,
and politicians. From his father, Edward A. Kuwatch (1909-1978), a relentless
questioner of authority and a jack-of-all-trades (logging truck driver, pool
hustler, real estate broker, independent insurance agent, film and still
photographer, machine shop teacher, mechanical engineer, electronics shop owner,
and corn farmer), he learned early on that nothing was impossible and that all
authority should be questioned.
Ed was put to rest on March 5, 2005 in his
beloved hilltop overlooking Willits,
California
— “The Gateway to the Redwoods.” He spent the previous twenty years educating,
insiring and organizing California
criminal defense attorneys who handled DUI cases. Ed was a pioneer; a fighter; a
thinker, and a friend — he will be missed.
