I was Ben´s dorm parent. Like many teen boys, he was full of piss and vinegar and he had a good heart. He enjoyed wrestling with me and I was able to handle him as he didn´t really know much except to use his physical size. I remember going out with Ben & his parents for dinner at the end of the school year.
