Mr Milligan was a great man. He was an excellent Scout Master. I was very fortunate to see Mr. Milligan often after our scouting days. What impressed me was how much time he spent with Mrs Milligan particularly in St Francisville showcasing her art. He will be missed

Mrs. Faye and Linda, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Ted. No time is a good time to lose a loved one but especially here at the holidays it makes me really sad. Linda, I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you but know that I do love you and I'm here if you need anything.

All my love!
