What I recall about him:
- watching www wrestling on TV
- watching stock car racing on TV
- eating 4 mayonnaise sandwiches after school
- chasing ambulances, literally
- loving to talk politics
- wearing a black arm band at his college graduation in 1971 because of Vietnam
- video taping the family at reunions for hours
- his amazing photographs (that won many awards), which introduced me to the love of faraway places and travel
- the beautiful land he bought in the country with plans to build a log home
- planting 800 trees on that land and watching the deer eat many of them
- watching a meteor shower together with our kids on his property
- taking our parents on day trips around the state
- driving truck or bus for years and years; man, he loved to drive
- his wry sense of humor
Bennett, I miss you.
