MSGT ERNIE TEDDER,  was one of the many faces of my early years at the ROUTE.  I was fortunate to see and talk with him at the reunion in 2001.  Great man to work with.  He and I worked  on the one of many C-5's from hell at RMAB.  The one I recall the most was NR#1 ENG on a C5 that would not power above idle.  A, B, C, D, FLIGHTs Spent a week on that A/C which resulted in an ENGINE CHANGE to send it home. I miss him.-----FIG
