Ted
Ming United with a daughter he never knew he had. It
is with some pleasure that I write to advise this site appears to have done some
good, albeit through a bizarre turns of events. A
31 year old Canadian lady searching for a ‘Ted Ming’, the father she never
knew, located this site, www.bermuda.org.uk
which makes many references to the name. After
a brief exchange of e-mails, which in accordance with the assurance appearing at
the bottom of the page will remain confidential, it was revealed the lady
believed Ted Ming of the Bermuda Strollers, to be her father. The
lady was seeking contact details for Ted, but also expressed some concern.
The site makes reference to Ted’s association with drug dealing, money
laundering and murder. The site
also advises that Ted’s conviction and 20 years prison sentence was overturned
following a ruling that the judge misdirected the jury. The
lady questioned whether contact should be made with Ted. Bermudians
are almost without exceptions, wonderful people; relaxed, easygoing and not
predisposed to violence or aggression. Whilst
it was suggested the lady seek the advice of an organisation or people who had
experience in breaking such news to long-lost (or never discovered) parents, it
was not anticipated Ted would act other than with interest and compassion. Ted’s
address and telephone number were supplied to the Canadian lady and in turn she
called Ted. Apparently, Ted’s
reaction was as anticipated; favourable. There
has been a brief period during which e-mails have been exchanged between this
site and the Canadian lady. Ted
apparently expressed concern about how the lady had located him, through www.bermuda.org.uk.
Ted is said to have no knowledge of this site. The
e-mails between the lady and this site have ceased, through the lady’s choice.
No further approach will be made by www.bermuda.org.uk
despite possessing both home and work e-mail addresses for her.
The parting words were kind:
