• Note: March 1994; Dan Thompson's House, Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; At 70th Birthday party for Ben Thompson was held at his son, Dan Thompson's house in March 1994 in which Ted Snider and Ben Thompson jammed with their horns. Joe McMullen, leader of the band The Melodeers, which were hired to play at the party, video taped the jam session and some of this band playing. It is priceless!

• Note*: circa 1998; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "We are all appreciatively familiar with the credits of the adult Ben (though they bear iterating and reiterating). The Family, the law office, the court room, Parliament, St. Paul's, The Masons, The Legion, the Village of Brighton, the Town of Brighton; not to mention the golf course and the "hot" trombone. And then there was the social conscience and the unerring sense of "the right thing to do". We, and there are so, so many of us, have but late bidden Ben a fond farewell. Citizen Ben. Yes. But, also, let's not forget the small boy who gazed out windows and dreamed. Because we hazard the guess that we all may very well have generously benefited from those same childhood dreams. 31 March 1998" the last paragraphs of "Ben", the first article in "Over My Shoulder, An Anthology of Brighton Memories", by Peter J. McConnell, Connolly Publishing Ltd., Brighton, 1998
  Note: The surname of "Ben" is not mentiioned in Peter's article but it was clear to me it was referring to Ben Thompson.
