Ted Fessel’s decades of public service started with service in World War II. In the decades since, he’s supported his Guilford community in ways large and small, ranging from volunteering as a Boy Scouts assistant scout leader to serving as a volunteer fireman, coaching and officiating Little League, and serving as chaplain for the American Legion. He’s also been active in his church and with the Veterans Administration, though for a younger generation he may be best know for guiding hundreds of kids safely across the street as a crossing guard.
