Ginny and Ted met at Oak Park High School in 1943 and married on August 16, 1947. Ted was steadfastly at her side as they lived a life filled with love, happiness and song. They sang together in a barbershop quartet and with the choir at Redeemer Lutheran Church where they were active members for decades. They also shared a love for travel. Summer vacations were spent with the extended family in Door County. In their later years they travelled the country and visited several state capitols.
