Ted,
You were like a father and best friend to me! I remember the late 70's when you walked faster than anyone, carried a keypackt computer selling insurance and loved playing the dogs at the races. I have heard your army stories 100 times, and would love to hear them again! You are a true patriot and a man of God! You have demonstrated the love that only a Christian can.
Thank you for being a part of my life!
