A weekly visit for Bennett, 79, who lives alone in Hamilton

I'm writing for my neighbor Bennett, who's 79. Bennett lives alone in Hamilton, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Bennett loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you so much.
