Ben W. "Bill" Beckham

I met Bill & Helga at Dateland in November, 1965, when Dave Stephenson & I were sent to Tacna. Bill was my friend & mentor for 40 years. Of my fondest memories are the jeep, the shotgun held aloft, the jug of stumpblower & tang & quail hunting with one of the finest bird hunters I've ever known. Does anyone else remember the bird on the phone line or the story about the radio antenna? I told Bill often that he was my most unforgettable character....& with the old AHP characters we all know &...

To Bronco & the Beckham Family,
I offer my condolences to you.

Bronco, one day we shared a six pack and talked. You told me what honor meant to you.

Your father was a Man of Honor.

His honor will get him inside the pearly gates.

Now you must carry HIS HONOR forward and share it with other like you shared it with me.

I am here for you.
Thanks Buddy.

Bill Thanks for the memories. Helga's love and support was so important. I cherish our last conversation with you both.

SOME OF THE BEST MEMORIES I HAVE OF THE HIGHWAY PATROL WERE OF OFF-DUTY ACTIVITIES, WHILE STATIONED IN DATELAND, ARIZONA.

BILL AND HIS JEEP WERE THE FOCAL POINT OF THOSE ACTIVITIES.

SANDY AND I OFFER OUR SINCERE CONDOLOCENCES TO HELGA AND FAMILY.
