Ted Hunting Memorial A memorial gathering of Ted's friends was held on May 23 at the home of Terry and Lynn Meyers, friends of Ted.  There were about 25 of Ted's friends and relatives who knew him from his many interests including sailing.  Ted was an avid an accomplished skiier and ice skater; he played soccer and was a marathon runner (he ran a marathon at 40). It is surprising he had time for sailing. Ted joined the fleet about 1972 and remained a member until he left the area in 2001.  I remember many races where Ted and I were competing not to be last.  Some of the more vivid memories I have of Ted was our trip to Ocean City, New Jersey in 1978 to pick up "Swill Dog," a boat that still is on the fleet roster at Susquehanna yacht club.  We stopped at an Atlantic City casino before getting to Ocean City about 2:30 am.  Ah, the days when we were young. A few years later Ted took his boat to the Maryland Governors Cup races at St. Michaels.  I took my boat and joined Dieter Grotheer and his boys, Philip and Ron, who crewed for him.  I remember the 99 degree temp on Saturday and 100 on Sunday.  My crew took the relaxed approach and didn't show up until about an hour after the race had started.  When I expressed displeasure they departed in a huff.  Later, I found a few people who daysailed with me on Saturday (we followed the Log Canoes--they pulled away easily) and crewed on Sunday.  But, having a superb dinner at the famous Crab Claw made up for the disappointments. Ted was in his element as he loved to eat. With all his activities I understand why. Long time crew Angie Dimson attended the gathering; it was very satisfying to share memories with her--especially St. Michaels.  I  met another former crew member, Nel van Beusekom.  She told me about the 8 day journey Ted took in 1974.  Ted, Nel, and crew Jim Stepanek sailed all the way down the Potomac (90 miles, channel distance) then sailed to Tilghman Island, then to Annapolis.  I have some pictures of  that trip that Nel took.  Ted was co-owner with me of 14037, Bony Buns.  I won't forget him.  -- Joe Warren
