What a gal, that Ted!! She was one of “my” volunteers at the Red Cross during the time I worked there from 2003-2007. What a delight she was! She brightened the room as soon as she entered. We had some wonderful chats. And what a talented painter! Ted…you had a life well lived, and you enriched all those whose lives you graced. You were the indeed a “gracious lady”. Till we meet again! <3
