many years with aerospace giants such as
Mcdonnell Douglas, Lockheed and Boeing and
was very active personally in the Louis
Leakey Foundation.

House is filled with mid-century furniture 
and furnishings acquired from early in Ted's career
in the 1950s-1960s with pieces by Paul McCobb,
George Nelson, Dux, Herman Miller, Sligh-Lowry,
Joel Edwards pottery, and numerous examples of Ted's
mid-century oils and sketches as well as other artists, 
Ted's original easel, sculptor's tools, drafting equipment,
fountain pens, and even vintage never-used charcoal pencils
