Benny Klein’s explanation for joining the Knights is a familiar one: “Jim worked on me,” he said, referring to Jim Kowalski. Benny and wife Ronda live in Cedar Hill and are a couple of West Texas natives who came to this area in 1994. They met while attending high school in the small town of Stanton. It’s located about midway between Midland and Big Spring along I-20, and the “welcome” sign entering town proudly states: “Home to 3,000 Friendly People and a Few Old Sore Heads.” Benny graduated with an accounting degree from UT-Permian Basin in Odessa and works as an account administrator for Dell Services in Plano. The Kleins have been married 42 years. They have three grown children who all live in Texas plus one grandson and one granddaughter.
