Ted Tedesco, city manager of Boulder from 1967 to 1973, looks back with pleasure, humor, insight, and some nostalgia, on his tenure here. He begins by describing his background and early career as a jazz musician, followed by his decision to go to college and change careers. He describes himself as an "activist" city manager and details the role he played in managing issues such as the first approval for an open space tax, the defeat of prohibition laws, and the anti-Vietnam War riots in the late 1960s. He reflects on why he left Boulder and compares working as city manager in Boulder with his experience in San Jose.
