St. Charles College Ruins

[Pamela]

Thanks for posting those for me, Roger! The tradition at the Booth gravestone plot is to put pennies on Booth's unmarked stone and around the Booth name because they carry the image of Lincoln. It was moving to see that. As you can see, Arnold also had pennies. O'Laughlen had only a couple; I guess he's off the beaten path.

I spent over an hour trying to find Reverdy Johnson, to no avail. I had the photo from findagrave to use as reference and located the buildings in the background and it was kind of an interesting puzzle, but no luck. As a matter of interest, the Baltimorean who invented the ouigi board is buried there and his headstone is a ouigi board. Also there are a couple of beautiful sculptures by Hans Shuler at and near the chapel. We didn't get to go into the large mausoleum but were told that it is both creepy and amazing.
