[Leica] Ted

[David Young]

Hi Howard!

I think we are all saddened by Ted's turn of events.  And I've been thinking of him a lot.

One of my favourite stories of Ted is from a visit, years ago, when Tom, Tuulikki, Ted & Irene were visiting us in Logan Lake.

After Rose had served a sumptuous breakfast, we boys were heading out in pursuit of whatever it is that I can't remember.

As slung my R8 over my shoulder, Ted looked at me and quietly said:  "So nice to see you've finally finished getting dressed."

:-)

David.
