I went to school with Ben Zook - Topeka West High School - Topeka, Kansas (same school that the rock band Kansas graduated from). He was a couple of years ahead of me and I can't say I knew him very well. I do remember that he did a great supporting job in a production of "Oklahoma". His character was the one who sings the song "....everything's up to date in Kansas City". Yes, he was quite full-figured back then too!
