I think it was my senior year when Ted and Ned retired and hit the road in that Motor home w/ the minibikes. I remember them cruising about south quad as they practiced on their bad motor scooters. Kids were running after them and they were ear to ear grins. Too cool.....






One of my all time great ND memories

If I recall correctly they had just celebrated mass at the ACC (no "J" then of course), and the dining halls were closed for a picnic on the quad. As they cruised the sidewalk perimeter of the quad on the matching red scooters the place went nuts.
The grins as they sped by was my best Fr. Ted memory

Serving as an alter boy for him at a small mass in the log chapel was #2. I told him that it had been 10+ years since I last served at mass. He winked, grinned, and said, "follow my lead". He was just the coolest guy ever.
