What ever happend to Ted Benson?
Author: cflmike

I grew up in the seventies reading Trains Magazine and wanted to go the places and finally did that he photographed. Can any of his work still be found? Thanks

I remember reading his Rolling Thunder book as a kid in the local Walden Books. The shots he took on the Salt Lake Causeway have always stuck with me.

The deceased photographer Gary Benson authored "Rolling Thunder".

Ted will likely be at Winterail in March. He's always there.

You should get a copy of Ted's book, "One Track Mind" . . . a beautiful collection of his black & white classics.

Ted is also collaborating on a WP book with Dale Sanders, Dick Dorn and Dave Stanley. Plus he did the foreword for some book about Route 66 and the Santa Fe. :-)

I am to confused (an upset). International board doesn't seem to make sense because it won't cover inter-solar system discussions, train operations on other planets, etc. To avoid the confusion, I think Todd should create a inter-galactic Discussion board ASAP, just like he spun off those chatty Canadians...

<g>

This tongue-in-cheek post is dedicated to the goofy Ted Benson - especially if he is reading it and simultaneously thinking about stalky giant Randy Johnson standing on a mound in a Giants uniform come spring...
