I use my earthlink address as my apple ID. Will I have to change it if I add my iCloud email
Account and send email from it. I intend to keep my earthlink account and email
Address as I have had it since 1997 and my friends and several services I use know
me by my earthlink handle. Will that be a problem?

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but if you create a new iCloud account with a different ID your existing ID isn't effected by this.  It will continue to work as it does now, you will just have an additional Apple ID.  If you have an earthlink email address you can continue to use it as a separate account, and it can continue to be your default account if you set it to be (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account).  If I'm misunderstanding your question, please explain further.
