It is with deep sadness to hear about Mary Lou Benjamin. The last time we saw Mary Lou and Ed was near Mission, Texas when a group of Rovin' Square dancers gathered for lunch at a restaurant along the Rio Grande. This was arranged by good friends, Barbara and Lloyd Campbell. The gathering brought back wonderful memories when we square danced together in Pennsylvania. Our sympathy to all the Benjamin family.

We will miss her so much.
