Remembering Ted Mullin

One thing that really impressed me about Ted, even long before I knew him well, was his questioning and critical mind. He wasn't the kind of person who could readily accept what he heard or read without annalyzing it and really understanding the issues around it. I remember getting into a somewhat heated debate with Ted sophomore year over whether or not it was morally right to hire a "staff" (guards, drivers,etc.) when living in a poorer country. He was not so sure. I really admired his constant readiness to engage intellectually.
