Taps for Ted Sampley – The POW Network – Posted 13 May 09
Ted Sampley passes away at 62 – ENCToday.com – 12 May 09
Newsletter comment: Ted was a very, very interesting Brother. I can recall many late-night phone calls we had discussing the POW issue years back. At times I found myself opposed to his tactics, but there was never any doubt the passion he had for the truth and the fire in his belly. We worked together via the fax net to post a lot of his information on the Veterans’ Board of Prodigy prior to web sites before Ted became completely computer savvy. He watched the board & comments and I did the posting for him which was a laborious task in those days.
At times his articles made me cringe knowing the backlash that was coming, but there was truly a softer side to Ted which few saw. It was that softer side that drove him so hard. And he was very supportive of me and my family when Kathie died checking up on me and the kids often.
I will truly miss him… Rest In Peace my Brother…
