Edward “Ned” Stevens Allen, 71, passed away on Monday, December 22, 2025, at home with his loving wife by his side. He was born on October 1, 1954, in Portland, the fourth child of the late Neal and Alice (Gamage) Allen Jr. 

Although born in Portland, he grew up in Schenectady, N.Y. where his father was a professor of History at Union College. The family spent the 1960 - 1961 academic year in Scotland where his father was on sabbatical teaching history at the University of Aberdeen. It was here that Ned attended first grade and learned to read. This instilled a love of learning and an interest in the field that continued throughout his life.
