Slight repair work needed, please
« on: Monday 02 May 22 21:15 BST (UK) »
Ross H. Bennett [1901-1986], a lawyer from Portage, Wisconsin.  I think the photo must have been taken in the 1970s.  Just a basic cleanup, please.  If it's possible to bring out the text on the plaque, so much the better.

I couldn't do any better either, sorry. I'm guessing that it's a pen in his top pocket?

Thanks to all!  This is the best picture I have of him and he has been much improved.  I just couldn't make out 'perpetual refuge' and 'place of enjoyment for the people.'
