Thanks, Zeke...you're absolutely right. I let my senses get away from my
head. Good luck to you guys over there...I sincerely hope that the
perpetrators are apprehended in short order.

It would be great if the damage was correctable by youth type
organizations,
but the fact is, the type and degree of destruction that has occurred at
the Acra
Cemetery is far passed the capabilities of school or Boy Scout
organizations,
and even most civic groups.
The structural damage and sheer weight of many of the monuments, require
trained personnel and equipment to correct, and with the volume of
monuments
damaged - a very costly undertaking.
Thankfully, it's a small town, and little remains hidden for very long. We

are biding
our time til those involved make their second mistake and are apprehended.
The financial
responsibility then will be on the those it should be - the ones involved,
and/or their parents,
should this prove to be the case.
