Mark,
I'm glad someone at least commented on those pictures. Has this list
degenerated to the point that we don't even promote correct repairs
anymore?
I am as grossed out by the lack of reaction within the group as I am by
the
vandalism done to that cemetery by folks who call themselves
restorationists. To me, anyone who starts 'repairing' stones without
doing
a lick of research or training is vandalizing the graveyard. There's just
not a polite way to say it.
If that mess doesn't convince anyone that this group or someone needs to
step up and take control, I don't know what will.

Quote from William Gladstone (1809-1897), three-time Prime Minister of
England
and Victorian contemporary of Benjamin Disraeli:
"Show me the manner in which a nation or community
cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical
exactness the tender mercies of its people, their
respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty
to high ideals."
