BENJAMIN CARTWRIGHT MARION died in Middleborough, Mass., December 26, 1986. He entered Dartmouth from Roxbury Latin School, majored in English, and belonged to the Dartmouth Christian Union. His grandfather, Otis Marion was class of 1873.

If you didn't know Ben in person you still may recall the Crosby Hall student with powerful shoulders and crutches who swung his way across campus in all kinds of weather. Only a broken ankle freshman year let me see his toughness and achievement.

Ben became a half-orphan at age eight and a polio paraplegic at age 14, but his determination and independence permitted him to earn a living and maintain his own home until just a year past. Widely read, he had manifold interests and traveled in both Europe and the Far East. He taught himself to sail and at one time kept a 22footer on Long Island Sound. His friends were many and his correspondence voluminous.

After a brief stint of teaching, Ben worked as a draftsman during the war and then established himself as a technical writer, later supervisor, at the Electric Boat Company, Groton. At a later period he edited a technical magazine for NASA before he became a writer for the National Air Control Administration of HEW.

A 1968 trip to Japan was prolonged for ten years. Ben found that all Tokyo wanted to learn conversational English and the only credential was a western face. He was busy and happy.

Since 1978 he lived in a cabin overlooking the Maine coast, heating with a wood stove and preparing his own meals. Ben's only complaint during the year following a massive stroke was that he couldn't return to his typewriter table overlooking the sea.
