Pictures

You already know that I was at Hollywood Cemetery on Monday, finishing the assessment of the existing roses in preparation for our volunteer Rose Work Day on March 23.  While I was there, a photographer from the Richmond newspaper trailed along behind Donald and me while we worked.  I just found out that six of the photos were published on the online version of the paper. 

Here they are:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This looks pretty darned glamorous, doesn't it?  We do lots of staring at the map, riding in the Gator, walking around, making notes, and doing the best we can to have enough information to prepare for putting the volunteers to work next Saturday.
 
Now I'm wondering if the interview that I did with the reporter is going to be published ... if it is, I will let you know.

  3. Very cool, glad you are getting some recognition for your hard work! I should send you the names of my relatives buried there to see if you stumble upon their graves.

  4. I've loved catching up on your posts about the cemetery! The sculptures and monuments are truly works of art, and I would be distracted too! But it sounds like a very, very productive day and if it ends up as an article, I'd enjoy reading it!

    Take care!!

  7. The photo of the map places into perspective the scope of your undertaking (no pun intended). It is great to see such a large cemetary, not something that we see here in Florida. Thank you for taking on such an important project.

  8. Don, Hollywood Cemetery is 135 acres ... you're right, this is a VERY large undertaking.
