This was originally intended as an anecdotal genealogy website dedicated to putting a personality on those that have passed before, specifically those that I have heard stories about or even knew personally. But it has gradually changed to cemetery statuary, and as it was at first, featuring celebreties. For my personal links go to the end of the blog, Spencer G Corkum

There is a new day coming upon rising.

one of a kind

The tide is out and the water is gone.
A new famous link just added this morning is to the memorial of one of the few celebrities I've met conversationally, at a party when we were both quite young, but not particularly aware of it at the time. William F Buckley Jr commissioned his monument, a very unique cross containing the ashes of himself and his wife. Click on his link under Celebrity Links nearby. Be sure to see all the photos.
