I always liked it when he'd have to explain to kids that his collection of historical Hookahs were meant for tobacco use only and were only decorative in nature.
What is the status of his Museum? Is there a new curator? Or will it be burried with him like King Tut?
I'll always remember his birthday wishes too: "today is November 17th, ALL day, and we are celebrating...."

sehs95,
Mr.Wallenhorst is the new teacher in the museum. I work at St. Ed's during the summer and i had a chance to go into Brother Bennett's old room in the current Brothers house at St.Ed's. We braught up a lot more very interesting artafacts and have moved things around, and opened up more things, it looks very nice. And Mr.Wallenhorst was the perfict teacher to run the museum and is a great teacher. If you are interested you should stop by and take a look around it was moved up into room 104, I believe. The big Hookah is up on the left when u step in the class! I never had the chance of meeting Bro. Bennett but I have hered nothing but great stories of his teachings.

Hookah?? as in singular? The Janitorial staff must have raided his collection if there is only one left.
Anyone ever take his Oriental culture class? I'm still not sure if it was a highlight of the class or a lowlight when he handed out samplings of Chinese Candy. If candied Ginger is a treat in China I think I'll stick to the old U.S of A.

Pretty Sweet!!! It's been over 30 years since I've sat in Brother Bennet's class, but I remember looking at that Nefertiti statue all the time. I looked it up in the archive and there it wasBest of the Week 2021-2022: Teaching to the Future
