Ted had been in New York for about a week and a half and phone contact had been spotty to say the least. With all the emergency workers and military personnel near ground zero, cell phone lines and landlines were tied up and power itself was in and out. As far as he was concerned however, it went with the territory and he ate it up. He led his team with confidence, joy, and energy – they ended up providing ramshackle housing for hundreds of volunteers in the area there to help clean out rubble. His team fed thousands a day and encouraged tens of thousands more. Their expertise in relief work proved invaluable in supporting the workers who were on the scene first to begin clearing debris.
