___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

    I flew with Ted in Miami for Delta as a 727 S/O.
    Real gentleman! We did all nighters to the NE.
    He would get out of the seat and do exercises in the middle of the night.
    I started eating healthy breakfast flying with him.
    Never ate cantaloupe until him. He retired early and skipped wide body aircraft. Never knew he moved back to the east coast from San Diego.
