Subject: Speaking of headstone photos
Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 07:29:33 EDT


Cooksters,

While we're on the subject of headstone photographs, I have one more story to
share. I stopped at Parkholm Cemetery in LaGrange Park to take pictures of
two headstones. There was a third NEW marker which had me rushing to get the
newspaper. Names of two living relatives were listed in the obituary, which
excited not just me, but my "cousin" in Sweden.

He was so thrilled, he immediately placed the overseas call. Imagine the
surprise this relative had when the phone rang on an average Sunday afternoon
and the caller was in Sweden! Needless to say, cemeteries are among my
favorite places to visit. ;-)
