I remember when your Mom became very ill, Ted took continual care of her, never asking for assistance — not many men would have done that. This is a trait that continued on through his life: helping others in need.

Going back to the early 1930s, I shared a photo of ‘The Drunkard,’ which he performed in 1939 … this brought back memories to Jackson Elementary School and Bits of Broadway, which utilized the many talents of our PTA, school faculty, and glee club. I’ll never forget Ted’s singing ‘Poor Jud is Dead’ from ‘Oklahoma’ with Bert Singer.
