For several years I worked with your mom at Methodist Hospital. Your parents generously gave me a window air conditioner for my apartment in the '80's. Your dad helped put it in my window, and I was so grateful!

Thank you or all your family photos and how they showed Ben throughout the years. We lived around the corner from each other in Indianapolis way back when he was 18 and I was 13. We went steady for about 2 years. He taught me how to dance and took me to my first formal ball when he was a Freshman at Butler University. I still have the photo of myself posing in my living room in my new gown. In the summer when our windows were always open he would yell "Hey Wells" as he walked past my house. One night as I was coming home I stepped onto my front porch and he had been hiding behind a brick pillar. He was wearing his usual buzz haircut and his leather bomber jacket with the fur collar and nearly scared me to death as he stepped out of the shadows He had a yellow convertible coupe in those days. I remember his mother and brother Jack very well, but have forgotten his sister's name and I'm wondering if she was in any of your posted photos. It's sad to find that he has passed away. Thanks for listening. Judy Wells Werking
