I first met Ted when we both arrived at West Elgin H S in 1958. We became best friends and remained so ever since. For both of us adventure and misadventure became more important than academics. As a result in later years the "remember when " stories became an important part of our occasional reunions. Those who knew Ted from High School days all remember him as an outstanding Track and Field athlete whose running resulted in new records being set by him. I will always be happy that I had the opportunity to have known Ted and to have had so many memorable times together. Don Root
