WY Relative of Titanic Survivor Attends Memorial Event

One hundred years after the Titanic sank, 40 of the survivors' descendants gathered yesterday to remember the infamous maritime disaster at a museum co-owned by an explorer of the wreckage. Wyoming resident Helen Benziger, who is the great-granddaughter of Titanic survivor Margaret Brown, is among the descendants who attended. Benziger, who lives in a small town in the Big Horn mountains, says she didn't know she was related to one of the disaster's most famous survivors until she was teenager watching the 1964 movie "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."
