Elwood was a neighbor when we were middle school age. I always thought he was more than a year older than me when he taught me the basics of chess. Elwood had an incredible memory. After leaving Alex in 1955, I didn’t meet him again until 1996. My mother lived at the Towers so we got reacquainted there. He met my wife for the first time then and years later at my mother’s funeral reception he remembered her by name. Even with his severely limited vision, Elwood found a way to be of service wherever he could. John Morris Benson
