[Leica] LUG Yearbook status

[Howard Ritter]

Brian—

I just spent some time poking around on God’s Own Online Graphico-Lexical Engine and could find no source that referred to him as anything but Ted. Even his appearance in the index of his biography from several years ago is as “Grant, Ted”.

Given that ‘Ted’ is how he was universally known, especially to LUGgers, I think it would be most appropriate to dedicate the yearbook so.

I figured that the name he was born with was not "Ted", probably "Theodore" or "Edward", and spent more time than I care to admit trying to find official documents, but can't find anything authoritative. Does anybody know?
