So, after years of deliberations we have bitten the bullet and signed a contract with Gruber-Latimer Restoration to restore the cemetery wall. They come with reams of references and accolades. We have used them in some of our other repairs. I personally have interfaced with them for at least 40 years, knowing the founder, Dick Gruber. Their first efforts will be directed at the Mildred Street section.

We have finally received our sign for the entry to the Churchyard. Check it out! We think it's pretty sharp. It also directs you to our website, which is up in a very basic condition. More to come, promise.

Lookin' for some shade! We headed down into the woods to take a break from the sun. This is down in the center of the big section to the right of the Church. Trapnell

We're moving south now behind the Church to a couple of Baylor stone. These were BEASTS! We "just" leveled them.
