Ben initially joined Honolulu Monthly Meeting in 1949, and was clerk of that meeting when the boat Golden Rule came to Hawaii ten years later.  Ben has long been active in peace work, including the Alternatives to Violence Project.  The present article focuses on Ben Norris the painter.

Ben Norris grew up in California.  Upon graduating from Pomona College in 1930, he was awarded a 3-year scholarship, which was cut short by the onset of the Depression.
