Amnesia victim has ties to Boulder
BOULDER, Colo. - "Benjaman Kyle" is named for the initials of the Burger King restaurant near Savannah, Ga., where he was found naked and badly beaten nearly five years ago.
He has few clues to the life he once led - where he lived, if he has any family.
He thinks he's about 60 years old. He thinks Benjaman is his real first name. He feels eerily comfortable in and around restaurants and wonders if he once worked in the industry.
Now his memories of an out-of-business Boulder burger joint and the vivid recollection of reading Restaurants & Institutions Magazine in the University of Colorado's Norlin Library have led the people who are helping him search for his identity to turn their attention here.

Filmmaker brings Zimbabwe to Boulder
BOULDER, Colo. — At age 21, Tatenda Muchiriri founded the Machapro Boys Club in his home village in Zimbabwe, with the goal of changing the way African men view and treat women.
It was a revolutionary idea there.
"I've heard of people doing programs with young women to empower them to take care of their bodies, take care of themselves and prevent AIDS from affecting them," said Robin Truesdale, a University of Colorado graduate who met Muchiriri on a 2006 trip to Zimbabwe. "But I've never met a young man who was interested in approaching it from the male angle, and I just found that fascinating."
