Frederick Albion Blanchard (Ted)
As remembered by his brother, Richard Blanchard Jr 2004;
I believe Ted, who stayed back in Gardner
long after the rest of us left, may have worked a little with my dad on the
silver. He probably did polishing and annealing, as I did, and perhaps
spent more time on it, but he never became a silversmith; but rather went
into welding, and spent his career on that, including the "high steel."
I am sure he belonged to the Iron Workers Union.
Ted died in Oregon from diabetes at about age 65.
