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.
