Big Ben & Stanley

Ben Perry was born and raised in Rockland, Maine. After graduating from Rockland High School in 1954 he entered the US Navy and retired as a Chief Petty Officer. After selling automobiles and managing a car dealership parts department, he worked for Fisher Engineering as the Personnel Manager and Safety Director. Upon retiring in 1990 his next career was with Camden National Bank, retiring from there in 2006. He and Stanley have performed at the Strand Theater, Watts Hall, the Rockland Historical Society,and several other local establishments.

Stanley is a true ventriloquist since his mouth never moves. Stanley and Ben look forward to meeting you, telling funny stories, and then selling and signing books.
