Elemntary school friend

My name is Bob Lochhead.

Ted and I were best friends in elementary school, and we had continued to stay in touch over the years by email. I wanted to share my sadness with you and tell you how warmly I regarded your father.
We were very different in many (most) ways, but somehow we always got along well. For years I'd go up to Ted's house at 7470 Washington in U. City virtually every day after school to play. We were in the same Cub Scout den and were as close as brothers for a long time. On Christmas morning I could always count on a call from Teddy to compare notes on what Santa had brought.

[This was an email to Shawna Tucker, Ted's daughter]
