Ted belonged to the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists and the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society of Canada. He was a professional Electrical Engineer, graduated from UBC in 1957 and worked for BC Hydro, Alcan and MacMillan Bloedel. In Ted’s leisure time, he enjoyed fishing (salt, fresh and stream fishing), skiing, hiking, boating, cycling, fresh air and fitness. Every season was a new adventure for Ted and most likely included outdoor activities.
