    Benjamin, at any age, was simply divinely gorgeous. Oh, and he had a fabulous voice and was a wonderful musician. Gushing too much? No! And am sure that most, if not all of you agree. From Patricia H. not William H.

    Thank you for providing this video. I am currently reading the book "Let's Go" and as a long time Cars fan I am chagrined to realize I didn't really know much about Benny 11 letters until I started reading the book. Through the interviews within the book I have determined that Ben was bigger than life and the fame that should have been his was just outside of his reach. No doubt Cleveland and the Northeast showered with him with much deserved love, but he should have been recognized nationally as a great singer and a great musician. Few people know how multi talented and giving Ben Orr was and if there's anyone I would have liked to just hang out with, it would have been Benny 11 letters. RIP Benny Orzechowski

Who's in possession of them ? Regardless, now, with Ric's passing - is there a chance that an even bigger cars anthology is put together ? One can never know I suppose. Time marches on !

      @@joemilliken3438 Thank you for your dedication to this book. I really enjoyed learning about Benjamin--I laughed, I cried, I got mad, I cried some more, but most of all, I learned. I learned so much about a humble, beautiful man, and learned that I screwed up in not becoming a fan of him and the Cars sooner, but I'm here now. What I have wondered, though, is why the wrong death date is on Benjamin's gravestone and why it has not been fixed. Do you know? Or do we just put it in the same category with Elvis' middle name supposedly being spelled wrong--we may never know why. Anyway, thank you again for the book.

    Geez I forgot to complement the video itself. When I read about it on the blog I was hoping we'd get to see it at some point. Such great choices in photos and music, it really takes one on a little journey through his life. Definitely a top notch slideshow and well deserving of all the compliments it got by people who saw it at the event.
    ETA: Also that picture that says Leatherwood on it, Benjamin was easy to spot but is dude with the hat and the long neck Ric? I thought it was John Cleese for a minute. LOL

When I first got the book, I sent Donna and Joe a collage/comparison of that elementary school picture to another of Ben from the Panorama era and it's remarkable how he looked so much the same. Same twinkling eyes; same mischievous smile. But yeah, his mom was definitely as terrible at cutting bangs as most of our parents were! Haha.
