This is incredibly sad news. The world is a poorer place for Ted's passing. I can well imagine he will be so sorely missed by the ATCs and Civil Air. I first met Ted many a long year ago, back in Flight Service days of the early 80s. Spodman, your reminisence of Ted brought a smile to my face, that was just so Ted.
I went through some old photos and found
this shot which, to me, sums up Ted. It was taken by my ex-husband at his ATC graduation dinner in Melbourne, 1992. This is how I willl always remember a very lovely man, a true gentleman.
Here's
another photo of Ted, this time with ATC Short Term Course 75 of 1990. Look carefully and you'll spot the Milky Bar Kid, now GM ATC.
