[Leica] Last sad news about our beloved Ted

[Douglas Barry]

I'm afraid I'm not on FB, but I'm really sorry that poor Ted has lost 
his fight.
He was a brilliant photographer whose picture of Pierre Trudeau sliding 
down those bannisters back in '68 first jumped off the page at everyone 
used to an age of staider politicians. It made the Irish and British 
papers, and its impact probably made Pierre Trudeau's fame outside 
Canada. Before that Canada was mounties, lumberjacks and Canada Dry to 
most of us over on this side of the pond. Ted showed us it also had 
charisma.

He will always be remembered, and it's only a pity that the sad fall-out 
left by some murdering lunatic with a gun in Nova Scotia will possibly 
impact on the coverage of a great man's passing. Being the great 
newspaper man, I'm sure he's looking down and laughing at the irony of it.

May he rest in peace.

Douglas
