To Ben's family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of Ben. We were members of the Mount Egmont Alpine Club back in the 60s, skiers at the Stratford Ski Club and enjoyed water skiing at Lake Rotokere back in the day. A good friend

Yesterday

Ben unwittingly became the link between two families, and two academic journeys for both of them. Ben was the first person to see my late husband, Terry, rock up to the Adolescent Dental Clinic in Hawera in 1956 - on his Army Indian and sidecar, something Ben never forgot. Fifty-one years later, that inconsequential event became the glue which led to a friendship with Anna, his daughter, at Otago University. That friendship has taken wonderful, wondrous turns, cementing Terry´s legacy as an Otago Dental School graduate, and my ongoing association with the University. Anna and family - my heartfelt condolences and love to each of you. Ben´s memory - and memories - will always be with you, and thank you so much for sharing them. Wendy
