How about this issue? One of my husband's distant cousins is encouraging me to raise funds and get a single tombstone restored. I can manage that, and I know the stone needs to be reset, but he also wants to tell me how to do it. His advisor is a stone mason who wants to add a final coating that will guarantee the etching never erodes. Sharon Mills

Hopefully only in a good way.
