We are all saddened by the loss of Ben. He was a great man with a terrific sense of humor.



Every week the past few years, he would send to us a copy of something that was very important to him. His resume, his teaching experiences, the ads with his picture showing the quality work he had designed. Stories he wrote, or that were written about him. I read each of his articles and enjoyed the history he shared with us



Please accept our heartfelt condolences over his passing. We will miss his weekly letters and notes.
