Lorraine and family,
I remember Ted fondly from Commonwealth Telephone where he and Joe Sitar would 'entertain' us with their humor and banter.
Lorraine - you were the secretary for the Engineering group in the trailer attached to the Lake Street building.
Memories of great people and a wonderful place to work.
My condolences on the loss of Ted.
