Ben and I had the pleasure of meeting him at his daughters house, and at his, and Ben even explored the pines with him.

This photo shows Ben talking to Tom Darlington in the orange hat. Jessica is in the foreground with Tom Darlington's daughter Katharine Thompson on the far right. The path straight ahead was the route of the Kinkora Railroad which runs through Mrs. Thompson's property.

That's a damn shame.

I'll never forget looking for the canal near Lower Mill with him, and visiting the roadbed of the Kinkora Railroad. He was sharp as a tack and had plenty of stories to share. I am honored to have been able to spend the day with him.

Thanks for that. The photo of him and his invention fits this thread quite well.
