Yes! I, too, am very very sad. I kinda wish it were not true! I second the comments below! (welcoming! Mayor! greatly loved!! huge loss!) The Graton P O will, I imagine, continue to be a special place where we do a whole lot more than send and receive mail! (We meet and greet, we give and leave books, we network with neighbors, we occasionally get to unburden our souls for a minute or two! ) but it wont be the same without Ted.

Awwwww, this is a *huge* loss for Graton! :-( Ted will absolutely be missed!! Mailing packages and letters simply will not be the same without Ted's friendly smile and supportive reassuring nature.

THANK YOU, TED for being the kind of person that *always* made us feel better as we walked out of our Graton P.O. You made a difference for all of us.

And thank you, Dewey, for sharing this news and for your interview and article. It's a keeper (among many)!

Ted will be missed. We used to call him the unofficial mayor of Graton because he always knew what was going on around town. He made everyone a friend and always took a minute to make you feel welcome. The post office will be a colder, less welcoming place without him Thank you Dewey for writing this article and letting us know. .

Typo! 'To send things' NOT 'tossed things'!

Thank you, Dewey for letting us know. This is sad news for many of us, as Ted is greatly loved, and a ray of sunshine every time we enter the post office. Yes, I would go out of my way tossed things from Graton just to see him and have a chat. He will be sorely missed. Suze Cohan
