He was quite an imposing individual. He was a very large man and loved to eat. We were in the process of putting together a cook book. I don't think it was every published but I still have some of the recipes. They are very classic - just like the recipes in "Bottoms Up". While I worked for him, he did PR for a clothing store called Lynn's. They sold very inexpensive clothes. His big account was Norway Sardines. It wasn't as glamorous as he may have wanted, but it paid the rent. He lived in Manhattan with his wife and I don't think they had any children. He also maintained a friendship with Walter Pigeon. Walter was in the movie "Week-end at the Waldorf". Ted was a "technical advisor"on the movie. It seemed to me that he lived in the past and missed his days at the Waldorf. Hope this gave you some insight into the man. I worked for Ted Saucier in his PR office from February,1965 – May, 1966. He was quite an imposing individual. He was a very large man and loved to eat.

Take the old Maiden's Prayer, for example. Both rum and gin in the same cocktail, while rare, can have a great result. Take the old Maiden’s Prayer, for example.

In lieu of overbidding on cocktail books, check out www.abebooks.com. It's a website that compiles 100s of used book stores. THey almost always have what I'm looking for, including several cheap copies of "Bottoms Up." Hope that helps, Marty Hi!
