Very good Betty! But did you know a person that unwittingly may have had a hand in starting the French Revolution is buried in Massachusetts? Henrietta Deluzy-Desportes (spl)?

Oh, I know all about Henriette, the Duc and Duchess! Another wonderful little known murder mystery....I've been facinated by that story for years as well.
