Default Teddy Zanidakis Update

Hi folks sorry I haven't done this sooner but I had to make sure Ted was comfortable with me giving a status on his condition.

"Ted fell down last year. Nothing was broken but recovery of his leg requires quite a bit of physical therapy. A brief stint with Covid didn't help which is now healed. He does miss Net54 and all of his friends here and hopes to return very soon."

Thanks so much for all of your kind thoughts and prayers for my dear friend who gave me my start to my 1933 George C Miller set in the very early 1980's at the Willow Grove Philly Show.

Sincerely,

Dan Mckee

Ted is a Gentleman. One of the finest in the Hobby. The amount of conversations I've had with him both, in person, and through email, always leave me saying how kind of a man he is. He helped guide me when I was a kid at one of his shows in Cooperstown, and continues to do so now that I'm well into my collecting years. I have to reach out to him through email, again, as it's been far too long.

Wishing him a very speedy recovery, he's truly one of the best.

- James

Dan,
Thats awesome news that Ted is doing okay. Every time I go to the Willow Grove show (yes...that's what I still call it) I try to stop by and get an update from you. Hope to see you in March and hopefully see Ted too.

Never get a ton of time to chat with him but usually have a brief conversation with him at Philly. He has been missed! Get well!

I was noticing that something was a little off on Net54 recently, and realized that it had been quite some time since an informative/interesting Ted post. Get better and make it snappy Ted, Net54 is anticipating your triumphant return.
