Not sure what to say?

Ben Polston was my sweet father-in-law. He was a loving and thoughtful man. He adored his wife, Shirley. And and his love for me, my husband Frank & his granddaughter, Paige was obvious. And we loved him just as much! He will be missed by us all!

To the family of MSG Ben K. Polston
Ben and I attended and graduated from San Marcos Academy. Later, we went our separate ways, but I never forgot the influence Ben had upon me as corps commander. My prayers are with you at this time of loss. I want to make a memorial contribution in Ben's memory. If you have a preference please E-Mail me. In the interim, may God comfort you in your loss and may Ben's fine legacy remain with you forever. Semper Fi Ralph Ingram Jr Class of 1965
