I found Ted Couchman in the SSDI and need more info.
Ted retired in 1972 as FL's Reliability Analyst-FAA Coordinator
It appears he died a year later at age 70 in TUL.
I cannot find anything about his death in the Jan - Apr 1974 FL NEWS.
Post any info you have.

I saw you were looking for information on Ted Couchman and since I live in Tulsa, 
I called the main library and they emailed me a copy of his obituary. 
Apparently he died on 12/15/1973 and the obit appeared in the Tulsa Daily World on 12/17/1973. 
The microfilm was a bit scratched but it is readable 
especially if you print it off it is a little better except the one line that names one of his sisters, 
I tried to make out the name by enlarging it but I still could not make it out. 
Anyway, I hope this helps you. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much.
The obit proves I had the right Couchman.
