Ruben Nelson, Executive Director of Foresight Canada

Ted was cast into history when serious futures work was a gleam in precious few eyes. He never focused on being alone. He saw the opportunity to grow something new; something significant. For that alone, he is to be remembered and honoured. The scale and scope of his contributions are the fruits of his insight, impulses and courage. Ted was a living demonstration that the person and the work are fused. They cannot be teased apart. For this aspect of his life I am especially thankful.
