Benedict, 5. Local survivors include the Benedict brothers' paternal grandparents, Clarence K. Benedict, Columbia, and Mrs. Reba Aston Benedict, Lancaster. A spokesman for the family said the woman and her children had been visiting her family in Greece and were returning to the U.S. when the crash occurred. Cause of the crash is still under investigation. The bodies of the mother and her children have not been recovered. Lee Benedict, a former resident of Conestoga R2, has been employed with IBM Corporation in Richmond, Calif., for the past 15 years. He was in California at the time of the crash. According to the spokesman, the Benedict family spent alternate summers visiting relatives in Greece and Lancaster County.
