Bob, I love that story!!!!! I kind of wish I could have met and talked to Ted for a while, as he seems like a "Character"!
One cool thing, that i read about in his biography, is that he used to tell the local hospital staff, that if there was a kid doing poorly, they could call him and he would visit. When a reporter found out, Ted threaten him, that if he reported what he was doing, he would never visit a hospital again. In today's "Its All About Getting Headlines" type of world, that spoke Volumes to me.
