So sorry to hear of Ted's passing. He was one of the "stars" in our USC Dental Class of 1963, excelling in all phases of our training. Many of us were privileged to have worked with him on our annual yearbook, El Molaro, where he served as editor.

Charming, cheerful and wise, our friend Ted was a wonderful man: always upbeat and thoughtful, one who enjoyed company and good conversation.
