Body

Ted died March 31, 2015, in Delray Beach, Fla.

He came from Landon School in Bethesda, Md., to Princeton, where he was an English major. Ted was a member of Cap and Gown, a squash and tennis competitor, and captain of the tennis team senior year. His roommates at 322 Cuyler were John Hurst, Lawton Lamb, and John Sienkiewicz.

After graduating from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, Ted joined Pillsbury Shaw in 1970, where he was instrumental in building the corporate and securities practice. He was a longtime board member of B.F. Saul Co. and a trustee of B.F. Saul REIT.

Sports brought great joy to Ted; he built deep and lasting friendships on and off the courts. He was a longtime member of the Gulfstream Bath and Tennis Club in Delray Beach and the Chevy Chase Club.

Ted considered his dogs to be family members, often taking his black lab, Higgins, with him to work. He is survived by his second wife, Patricia; children Nanine “Nina” and George “Teddy;” eight grandchildren, Macabe, Grady, Clayton, and Shelby McDonald-Camps, and George, John, Luke, and Thomas Rogers.
