BENJAMIN FRANKLIN KELLEY

------------------------------

.  I am attaching a picture of my Uncle, Benjamin Franklin Kelley.  I think it captures the essence of the man more than any Iv seen!  He was gregarious, and outgoing and drew people to himself like moths to a flame!  I also forgot to mention that Ben F as we all know him was the proprietor of a teen oriented soda shop and restaurant there in Barboursville known as the Trails Inn.  He and his wife, Lotus ran it and would provide a safe, structured environment for kids to hang out, and relax, listen to music and dance.  They would hold weekly dance contests as well, and the local teens seemed to love it.
