Theodore G. Clarke

Ted Clarke lives in Weymouth, MA where he served for six years as Chairman of the historic commission. He is currently working on his 20th book, most of them on Boston-area history, with three on figure skating. He also wrote and narrated five television programs on history, one of which won an award from the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

A former teacher, Ted holds three Master’s degrees. He also served as 1st Vice President of the governing body for figure skating in the United States and as President of The Skating Club of Boston. He holds four national rankings in figure skating as an official. His volunteer work extends to his parish church where he serves on the advisory council. Now retired, he writes about four hours a day.

Ted wrote for newspapers and magazines as well. He credits the skills he acquired there as well as in teaching to developing a writing style that is easy to follow, humorous and is based on the ability to tell a story – the most interesting part of history.
