How Is He Doing? Ted Mohr had worked as a mid-level manager for a large retail chain with a regional headquarters in Fairfield County, Connecticut. For over fifteen years he had commuted on I95, and worried that too much of his family time was spent in traffic jams. Two years ago he acted on one of his dreams and relocated to New Hampshire to open a restaurant and novelty shop. The shop had been in its current location for over twelve years and had achieved a reputation for service and a wide range of tourist novelties. Ted ran the operations of the store, and his wife handled all the office and administrative functions. In the past year he had withdrawn $35,000 from the business for living expenses.
