It's wonderful. I now believe that the time gap phenomenon is a result of bureaucratic delay not necessarily tied to out-of-state death. The gap occurred in the case of Donald Drager for the same cemetery, a local death, and I have seen it in other military cemeteries. I called the cemetery, but got the message, "We just bury them." I'll put off calling Veterans Affairs until I've pursued Minneapolis street directories and finding an obit for Glenn's father in Minneapolis, both of which tasks will be researched by a local researcher there. I don't believe Donald is a likely son of Glenn. With both Agnes and Glenn in the armed forces, it would suggest they met after they joined up and that they would therefore have a child later; but one never knows. Similarly, John, who is John G, married to Ingrid, according to the Maricopa County Court sit, is probably too old to be a son. I am grateful that such effort is being expended on behalf of Glenn's descendants. Thank you.
