Condolences

Condolence From: Tracy Newman Carroll
Condolence: I was sad to hear of Ben's passing a couple of weeks ago. He brought a lot of joy to my mother and father, Judy and Larry Newman. They shared much in common with their travels, their ties to Mt. Desert Island and humor! He was a good friend to both Judy and Larry and myself. To the family, I'm sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Tracy Newman Carroll

Condolence From: Louisa Newlin
Condolence: I was very sad to hear of Benny's death on May 26 in the June 6 MDI Islander. Although I did not see him in recent years, he and I were part of a group of teenagers who hung out together in Northeast Harbor for a few years. This group included among others Chaddy Denton, Tommy Bass, Joanie Mathieson ( now Platt, and someone I still see frequently), Josie Pepper and Sally Cox. We also saw each other less intensely in Philadelphia, especially during the "coming out party" season, which meant something quite different then! I remember Benny as a lively, humorous person, always cheerful, a great dancing partner, witty, and always fun to be with. Sorry to have no hard-copy addresses to write a proper condolence note to, but to all his family, sympathy.
Sincerely, Louisa Foulke Newlin "friend of his youth"
