    3. Hello, I have worked as the supervisor of Fayette County Cemetery Department for about six years, and have thoroughly enjoyed my job. When I was hired Aug. of 96 the department routinely mowed 23 roadside cemeteries. As I got to mowing I knew that there was much more that needed done.With cooperating County Commissioners and County Council we created a department that routinely mows 45 pioneer cemeteries and have restored sixteen. An accomplishment that I am proud of. The experience that I have gained from being fortunate to work in pioneer cemeteries here in Fayette County has put me in a demanding role, it seems. The opportunity to work in other cemeteries throughout the state seems to be coming to me on a regular basis.Being locked into a 40 hour work week here ties me up. I have resigned my position. The Cemetery Commission, County Commissioners and myself are working together to insure a smooth transition and keep the Department intact. I have been contracted by Washington Township Trustee of Marion County to restore six cemeteries in her township, I am starting with Fall Creek cemetery located on Millersville Rd. I will continue to do workshops, I have one in Ohio and Kentucky this year. I will reintroduce myself as the INPCRP County Coordinator and stay instrumental in protecting and assisting in Fayette County's cemeteries. I am excited about this move and look forward to traveling, hopefully I will meet some of you good people along the way. John "Walt" Walters
