I was so sorry to see that Benny had passed away. His sister Priscilla and I were good friends growing up on Fearing Street. He was somewhat younger than we were so he was usually doing his own thing with friends his age. When their sister Margaret was born we (even I) were all so thrilled to have a real life doll baby. So many good memories. Sending warm thoughts to Margaret and her family.
