> Why not have schools,boy and girl scout groups,chruchs,civic groups adopt a cemetery as a group project to take over the care,also get local merchants,and buinesses in on it. if enough young people are involved it may teach them to respect the burial sites and cut down on vandalism later on.... Good idea!!! Kathleen
