Thanks. Judy

Thank you Carole,
Thank you for the information, I can fit it in. Also I have ordered the
Camp books, they should be coming any day now. So don't send me anything
now, that may be duplicate. Are there pictures of this grave? Have you
thought about publishing your 'stories' from your Aunt Omi? They would be
so
interesting. Lets hope something is done about the cemetery soon. I
will
be
watching to see what the latest is, maybe then we can figure out a
way to
help each other
Pat
