Antipixel | Blog | Ed Devereaux Dies Ed Devereaux may not be such a familiar name to non-Australians, but to two generations of viewers he was park ranger Matt Hammond in the television series Skippy (about the adventures of an orphaned kangaroo raised by the ranger’s son). Devereaux died in London yesterday at the age of 78. Ed Devereaux was a fine actor, and although I didn’t know him, I could tell from his performances in the shows I saw that he was a good man. He had four sons so he was no doubt a good father too. www.antipixel.com /blog/archives/2003/12/18/ed_devereaux_dies.html   (511 words)

Exeter News-Letter Local Sports News: Not over quite yet Epping coach Ed Devereaux was hoping his team could have won or tied Raymond Thursday, but what his team's performance against Raymond did was show him that they can play against the top teams like Raymond and Gilford.

Guide page: "Chrysalis" The killing of Devereaux and his men suggests there may be more than one level of deception at work. Or perhaps he was simply under orders to tie up loose ends and wanted to ensure Devereaux could never blow his cover if apprehended.
