Edward "Ted"'s Story

Life Since graduation in '46: 4 yrs. at Stanford, one at U. of Toronto, then Army. Out in '54, at U.C. Berkeley, met my future wife,Mary Jane, went East to Johns Hopkins in '56, finished Ph.D. in 1961, starting teaching at Syracuse U. in '59, went to S.D. State in '63, teaching when JFK was murdered. Adopted three children between '59 and '63. Our daughter, Diane, was killed in an auto accident when she was 40. The two boys are well and enjoying life. Loved teaching, mostly the interaction with students. San Diego was a great place to live, but we also enjoyed Maryland and Upstate New York. Had to leave the cold climate because of my wife's health. She was a prof. of psychology at U.S.D. in San Diego. We left SD for a quieter life on the Oregon Coast. Mary Jane has been in ill-health since 1992, a disastrous infection followed by several surgeries left her in precarious health. Recently she has begun the slow decline of dementia and came close to dying in June and in September. Most of my time is spent around her care. College Very lucky to have gone to Stanford when it was still quiet and semi-rural. Remember how rural San Leandro and Hayward used to be? Thought I would do law, but got interested in poli sci, and then puzzling over supreme court decisions led me into philosophy, where I stayed. A wonderful time. Graduated ...Expand for more
the two weeks later Korea came along. I went up to Toronto to the Institute for Medieval Studies for a year, but I confess I felt guilty being in school with a war going on that I thought just. After I got out of the Army, went to Berkeley for two years. Conflict with one of my professors led me to find another place, and I was again lucky to have found Johns Hopkins in Baltimore where I was mentored by Ludwig Edelstein, who got out of Germany in 1934. A great man. Lucky again to have entered Hopkins as the Old Guard was phasing out. Within a few years of my degree, they had all retired, but my fellow students and I got the benefit of all their years of living and learning. At that time there were 15 grad students in philosophy, including those writing their dissertations. Twelve only in classes. Military Dopped out of graduate school and enlisted in the Army because I had a chance to enter signal intelligence. Basic at Ord (lucky), crypto school in Massachusetts, overseas to Korea in 1952 for 15.5 mos.Back to D.C. until I got out in '54. Nothing like being a buck private and an EM to straighten out a fuzzy brain. Had a great group of military friends. Got a commission in the Navy just before Hungarian mess, as a reservist. Stayed in until 1968. Left as a Lt. Being an EM in the Army helped a lot in trying to be a good officer.
