Ted was in my thoughts today. So was his family.

Another September 11. I still remember.

Ted was a classmate of mine at Kellogg. I spent 9/11/01 glued to the TV, pouring through alumni directories to try to grasp who that I knew might be at risk. There were many. Ted didn't even surface as a potential, since he didn't work at the Towers. Later I learned that of the 200 potential victims I knew, only Ted died.

Ted was one too many.

I cannot thank you enough for your tribute.

Nicely done. I was a junior and senior high school classmate of Ted's, an acquaintance… The bloggers above are right. Ted smiled. And laughed. And danced. I cannot remenber a time when he didn't.

His kids need to know that.

Thanks for telling us about him. My tribute is to Jeffrey Giordano. He was a fire fighter from Ladder 3 in Manhattan.

I, too, was a friend of Ted's at Harvard. Along with Adrian Blake (above) and others, it was my pleasure to work with him on the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Ted was many things — smart and funny among them. Notice that all the pictures above show Ted smiling? That was not posing! Ted was always smiling and always making others smile. That smile in fact is what I constantly recall in my mind's eye when I think about Ted. That smile and his clarinet. One time during rehearsal, he had me totally cracking up for hours just going on about all the actors — he called them "zany madcaps and wacky pranksters." They were that, and so was Ted. That was 20 years ago and I remember his phrase and the ound of his voice like it was yesterday. Yes, the humor could be wicked, but never hurtful. That was Ted. I shall not forget. Gary Alexander

Thanks for this. I was one of Ted's hundreds of friends from college, and I appreciate you keeping his memory fresh. I think you captured him very well (although his wit was a little more wicked, if I remember correctly)…

It's tough to stand out at Harvard. Ted stood out– smart as hell, fearless, and very very funny. It's no surprise that he was as successful as he was.

Someday, I hope I can tell Matthew and Rachel how special their Dad was.

Thanks for telling his story.
