Ben was a great man and brilliant & thoughtful mind. I feel l honored to call him a close friend and mentor. I'm torn up by this deal; I've been closer to Ben in the last decade than any blood save my father. He also had another wonderful daughter named Margaret who didn't come to the campfire events, but I had the honor of meeting on when I was in San Antonio working for a few months. We had a wonderful meal prepared by Donelle that consisted of chicken fried elk backstrap that Ben's grandson Jace had taken.
I really wish I knew how to post a photo on here. I have a great photo of a few hunts we shared together nearly a decade ago.
