Bennett & Alice Marie Clark Bennett on Dec. 7, 1946, in their home in Southwest City, Missouri.  He was the second of five children.

After graduation, he proudly served his country in the US Army as a SPEC 5 specializing in morse code in Ft. Hood, Texas from 1966 to 1968.

Together they had three children, Alice Renee' Walker (Rande) of Springdale, Steven Andrew Bennett (Amy) of Xenia, OH and Diandra Leigh Sharpe (Jeff) of Lowell.
