President of Curry Company in Yosemite National Park, closely associated with Mariposa County officials linked to local corruption.

Ed Hardy was the president of Curry Company, the largest concessionaire in Yosemite National Park. He was closely associated with Mariposa County officials, including Mariposa District Attorney Bruce Eckerson, County Assessor Steve Dunbar, and Congressman Tony Coelho. Hardy and these officials were known for their annual camping trips together, and Hardy was a regular fixture at social events in Mariposa. The local townsfolk encouraged these connections, as much of Mariposa's tax base came from Curry Company.1
