He was one of 9 brothers that went to war. Ted attended amphibious forces training in Little Creek, Virginia, and served six years in the Navy as a “frogman” with Underwater Demolition Team 9 (predecessor of the Navy’s SEAL program). Ted served on tours in Greenland, Iceland, and saw combat in Korea while aboard the USS Missouri. Upon returning to Saranac Lake, Ted worked for many years at two Saranac Lake drug stores as well as doing electrical and construction work in the area.
