Benson hand-pressed into stiff clay the birth, death, and baptism dates of his ancestors on one bowl and his wife’s ancestors on the second bowl. As he did so, he pondered on the choices and sacrifices of those individuals, wondering how his own life might have been different had those individuals made different choices.
"These individuals have been imprinted on my soul."
