Back when i was a little kid, all the way up to the last time i saw uncle Ted, which i beleive was at aunt Jeans funeral, i always enjoyed his somewhat irreverant humor. i guess he didnt talk much in recent years, but i was able to get a few smiles out of him that day and i am all the better for it tonite. God bless that old ’51 ford! RIP uncle Ted!
