The Aikens and Bennett families came together eternally when Constance Diane Bennett and Brian Ford  Aikens became one in the LDS Los Angeles Temple on November 29, 1975.  Brian became interested in  family history in listening to the stories told around him.  From there on it has been a race to  acquire everything he can, sometimes haphazardly, and get it saved, shared, posted and corrected.   If you have something you would like saved, posted and shared or have any corrections, please email  me.  Thanks everyone, nothing more important than family, nothing more appreciated than those who  have sacrificed or enriched us with their lives.
