00:00So, I want to tell you a little story. When Ted took me to the Flying D Ranch for the
00:07first time, we went up on a high ridge called Finnegan's Ridge, and with a sweeping hand and his foot
00:16on the bumper of his 1950s Range Rover,
00:19he surveyed the land, and it was a vast valley with wildflowers and bison, and the sun was setting, and
00:33there was a rainbow over in the north. It was perfect, absolutely perfect, and he turned to me and he
00:40said,
00:41Darling, I owe everything you see. What's a girl to do, right? Our 16 years together flew like a hummingbird
00:58on the wing.
01:03It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's with perfection. That's
01:18exactly how Ted lived.
01:22So, please raise your glasses or toast. Here's to you, Ted, who showed us all what real leadership looks like.
01:34When you drive hard, you're on purpose, you lead with love, and you use your head.
01:41Your legacy lives on in your children and your grandchildren, in the winds over the ocean, and in the call
01:53of the wild. Thank you.
