This is a picture of Vasco, Ben and me taken on a trip I took to Canada in 1987. (Little Tina might have taken this photo) We spent the night at Ben's apartment. As you can see from the photo, we were so happy to be together. But before that, my fondest memory of Ben, was back in, if memory serves me right, 1970 or '71 when we spent a week with Ben and his family. Ben couldn't have been more gracious to me; he took me fishing, swimming, bicycling and rafting. He was such a good host and made every day an adventure. Even though we weren't in touch most of the years since, he held a special place in my heart. I will treasure those memories forever. Rest in peace dear friend and cousin.
