Completing 20 missions, next he was the Intelligence Officer at Naval Ocean Processing Facility, Dam Neck, VA, and lastly, he served as the Intelligence Officer onboard USS Ranger (CV-61), San Diego, CA
After his military service, Ted worked for Boeing Aerospace Division here in San Diego for 20 years. The next chapter in Ted’s life found him moving to northern California and working for nine years with British Aerospace Engineering. Ted loved California, the Pacific Coast Highway, and the Redwoods where he enjoyed riding his Harley with Sons of California on many road trips.
