The Colmans moved to Brody in their autumn years from the west coast of the United States of America. They keep a tidy home but have no garden to speak of. Despite the fact that they don't quite fit in, they are reasonably well liked and attend church weekly.
Benjamin Colman is a smiley guy always interested in engaging in conversation. Regardless the topic, Benjamin will have something to say. He's recently joined the Lion's League where he hopes to become Treasurer some day.
Irene, unlike her husband, is not one for chatter. Perhaps it's because of her obvious illness or maybe she's always been this way; it's hard to say given that she's from California and no one knows what she was like prior to her arrival in Brody. She makes some tasty chocolate chip cookies.
