Ted and I were best friends in high school. We used to cruise the Bakersfield streets in his beautiful MG T D. In 1960 we joined the army and went to Germany. Ted hated the army and told me he wasn't going to be there more than 6 months. He got out 6 months later.
I went to S H 40th reunion in 2000. He picked me up at the airport and hosted me for the duration of the reunion. We spoke on the phone regularly. Ted, I still miss you and think about you. Larry Wilson Tulsa, Ok. 2024
