Good suggestion. Thanks so much for making it. Do you have any recommendations? Also, how about involving local schools? Know there are alot of new folks, given the way development has sprawled across Christian and Greene Counties, but whether old or new--cemeteries are a great way of introducing kids to local history and a way of curtailing vandalism. I still am angry about the burning of the barn on the former Patterson-Casebolt farm. Would really like to talk to the young men who did it and ask them why, what purpose was served? They were fortunate that the current owner of the land did not press charges, wonder if they understand the gift that he gave them? Sorry for venting.
