Ben was one of my more memorable teachers at Newberg High. I think I was a freshman, about 1953. Can't remember the class, though.

I remember loaning him a booklet on identifying the trees native to Oregon. He never retuned it and was gone to another school the next year. It was not a big deal, the book was a freebe from the State forestry Dept.
