RE: Gravesite inspiration welcome
I find it fascinating to "meet" historical people as well, Eva. Whenever I'm in that part of Vermont, I always find it an honor to be within 6' of President Coolidge. His humble gravestone only lists his date of birth and the date of his death. The only hint he was a little something more is the Presidential Seal at the top of his stone.
I missed meeting his son by minutes in 1995 at The Plymouth Cheese Factory that he owned and ran. It would have been a thrill to shake the hand of someone that had touched a historical figure, even if it was decades ago, with that same hand. It was also a thrill to run my hand up the same banister that Booth held at Mudd's house.
