Tyler, Terry, and family, I am so sorry about Ben. Im in the process of moving back to the area from Wilmington. I had no idea this had happened. He was a fun kid growing up and a nice guy in high school when I ran into him. Saw him more when I would be Denniss shadow and he would be yours or Terrys growing up. Good Times! Great Memories! I know this must be a hard time for the Duke and extended families. Thinking of you all! Kathy Paschal McBride
