Theodore âTedâ Bailey passed away Wednesday, May 5, 2021.
He was born June 13, 1933, in Colton, the youngest of four. He attended elementary school in Colton, but then went on to graduate early from Pullman High School and entered the Navy with nine fellow classmates. He was only 17 years old. These men became lifelong friends.
After serving in the Navy, he was honorably discharged and returned to the Pullman area where he worked as a mechanic. While working at Pullman Tractor, he married Norma Druffel in Colton on April 14, 1956. He then went to work driving truck for Inland Motor Freight. They had a daughter, Christie, and a son, Doug, while living in Pullman. Ted and Norma bought a milk route in 1959 and moved to Moscow. Their third child, Greg, was born soon after. The milk route grew to a dairy distribution business that covered northern Idaho and eastern Washington before selling to Darigold in 1991.
SALT LAKE CITY When 10-year-old Conner Bailey makes his way to the top of the climbing wall, he looks below to see just how far he s come. As he works his way back down, he heads right back up, realizing he still has a long way to go but he s eager for the challenge.
For eight years, rock climbing has been a way of life for the now fourth grader. According to his mom, Tessie Bailey, his start at such an early age was in large part due to necessity. We adopted Conner when he was 2 years old, and he had some medical issues, particularly low birth weight and curvature of the spine, Tessie Bailey said. We put him climbing as part of his therapy, and he really took to it. Not only has his spine stayed stable, but Conner has really taken to the sport.
