Jim:
I was born in Spokane, Washington. Second son of Herbert S. Bensel.My father was one of 7 children of Rudolph Bensel and Minnie-Alice Jackson. All were apparently born in or around Marshall, Washington.Two of the children died (I am told) freezing to death in the cold wheat country winters.All I know is their graves are next to Rudolph's in a cemetery in Spokane.My entire family were very quite about the whole "Bensel" thing.Only when they got close to death did they begin talking up.
My older brother is "Kene". He is a golf pro in Bellingham, Washington.My mother is Vita Bensel (maiden name of Sutherlin). She was from Sprague, Washington. She now lives in Los Angeles. Is around 78 years old.
I live in Dallas, Texas. Am married and have two daughters.
Tell me about you and yours.
Phil Bensel
