This blog will have one fewer reader today and in the future. Ted May, my friend and colleague, succumbed to the ravages of multiple sclerosis after 20 years. Ted was a math teacher at the college and high school level. He taught at Penn State, Bradford College where he was friends with Arthur Levine, and Salem State College: and at Peabody High School, Lincoln-Sudbury High School, the Rivers School, where he chaired the Department and at Oak Hill Middle School and Newton South High School in Newton, MA.
Although he had a Bachelor's (Lehigh) and a Master's (University of South Carolina) degree in math , he loved music composition so much he got a second bachelor's degree in music composition (University of Illinois), and he wrote and performed throughout his life.
Ted has his own blog-Simian Simmerings- where in his own self effacing style he makes all of the above funny, interesting, and moving.
I'll miss him.
