Betty, you've given me a good idea. My brother is buried in the
military cemetery at Jacksonville, NC. My health prevents me from
driving down from Cincinnati. If anyone lives in the area willing to
place flowers on his grave, i'd be grateful. Of course, I'd order the
flowers and have them waiting.
