Denny Park sweep goes against pandemic guidance Mar 03, 2021
Does the Denny Park sweep go against Seattle s pandemic policy? KUOW reporter Casey Martin tells us about the sweep this morning and Dawn Whitson, an outreach care coordinator, tells us about the limited options and challenges in her work. Also, now that teachers in Washington state can get the vaccine, when will they get back to schools? And we hear about a Colorado Public Radio podcast about struggling with addiction.
Benigno Martinez
Our Lord and Savior called Bennie home to join his beloved wife, Clara, in the holy kingdom on Sunday, Nov. 22, in his 92nd year.
Our cheerful, loving father left an enduring mark on our hearts. He will be greatly missed by his children, Della Martinez, Theresa Austill (Lyle), Frances Rogers, Raymond (Linda), Diane Morrell (Jim), Monica Higgins (Bill), Christopher (Beza), and brother to Augustine, MaryLou, and Rose.
Family was everything to Bennie. There was nothing he loved more than to be with his family. It didn’t matter if you were a brother, great-grandchild or second-twice-removed cousin; you were family and were always welcomed into the Martinez home. Bennie was a gentle and humble patriarch father, grandfather and great-grandfather of our family. He had a significant presence in the lives of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
