Anyone who has cached around the Fort Wayne/Northeast Indiana area has likely found a Jim Bennett (aka Pink Pearl) cache or two.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Jim on several occasions including a race to a FTF on a puzzle cache in Ft Wayne which I barely won. He was a very nice gentleman and had many many geocaching friends. He will certainly be missed.
