Mr. Beach, as I knew him at Hermitage HS in Richmond, VA, instilled a love of playing music, which still continues almost 55 years later.

Linda, we are so sorry to hear about Ted. He influenced a lot of people during his long teaching career and also brought joy to many with his playing.
Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Sincerely,
Bruce & Sarah Spradley
