Ted died Feb. 13, 2013, in La Quinta, Calif.

He grew up in Lake Forest, Ill., and boarded for five years at Milton Academy before entering Princeton. He joined the editorial staff of The Daily Princetonian and devoted much of his significant energies to covering campus news. As he wrote in our 50th-reunion yearbook, “I came to enjoy Princeton, and the excitement was far too overwhelming to concern myself with attending classes.” This application of energy led to his “ex-matriculation” and transfer to Colorado College to finish his studies.

Following a short stint in advertising and sales for Kraft Foods, in 1961 he began a lifelong career in money management. He worked for 14 years in New York City with Mitchell Hutchins & Co. and the Channing Group of mutual funds. He then joined Merrill Lynch in San Francisco, later transferring to Santa Barbara, where he retired in 1985. Having played for the freshman golf team at Princeton, he continued to pursue the game throughout his life. Ted valued his association with ’59 and faithfully submitted updates for our reunion yearbooks.

Ted’s 1963 marriage to Diane Nelson McCoy ended in divorce. In 1974 he married Janet Gifford, who survives him, as do his two sons by his first marriage, Ivan and Luke. We have sent condolences.
