For those who will miss Ted, check out this touching tribute--a brazillion testimonials from people who knew him or just knew of him. He touched a lot of lives and I'm sure his books will continue to play a large part in our education.
http://www.newageretailer.com/PageID/491/default.aspxCloses with the Hopi prayer, perfect for Ted's sendoff:
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint in the snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the autumn's gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there,
I did not die.
