Vanished Kalamazoo reported this morning that former Kalamazoo mayor Edward Annen, Jr. died early Wednesday. He was 70 years old. Annen served three times as Kalamazoo's mayor. (At that time, the top vote-getter in the election of city commissioners was named mayor, until the method of choosing a mayor was changed several years ago, and separated from the Commission election.)
