My dear, dear Uncle Ted, 
I will never forget the Texas Rangers baseball  games you took me to and their were many. I am grateful for your service in WW2 in the Navy. You were born in Zimmerman, Louisiana and raised in Boyce just 3 miles down the road. If you look at Google maps, you cannot even tell there was a  town there. The town, according to him and my other 2 Uncles and my Dad (all 4 brothers) was a sawmill and pond to store cut logs in waiting for shipment down the Red River, which ran through Zimmerman down to New Orleans. "Old Man" Zimmerman paid his employees with "chits" , which could only be used at the company store. There were around 100 houses and rent was paid by "chits". A damn communist is what Zimmerman was and the whole logging town. There was no church only a synagogue since Zimmerman was a communist. A Jewish  Communist milking hard working Americans during the depression. They tried the same thing in Germany  but with a different outcome. My Uncle Ted went to work at Vought along with my dad, and they both worked 40 years and retired. Both were foremen and I worked 25 years at Vought before they laid off 13,000 people and are bulldozing 3 square miles of cement buildings, high technology labs, 50 to 60 year old men walking out the last time crying. They sent our parts to be built in Mexico and other countries. They built one long building  in Red Oak to assemble the Gulfstream wing and pay new hires $10.00 an hour instead of the $47.00 an hour, time and a half on any work over 8 hours and DOUBLE time on Sunday. I am glad my Uncle didn't have to see this cause it tore my Dad apart. Uncle Ted raised 3 Wonderful daughters and was married over 50 years. Ted was a Godly man and it showed in his life and character.  I Love and miss you Uncle Ted and will to my last breath........
