His love of snow and mountains was so great, he moved to Campton NH. It served as home base as he and wife, Carol, travelled across the country and back to Europe. As the grandchildren grew older, he needed to be closer to them. He moved to the next town over. Ted found great joy watching them especially on the soccer field. He loved to cheer them on and help referees with their calls.
