Sue -- you did not dream this -- but I have dumped it -- so you will likely get several copies.

Hi, I saw this tonight on the ATV news as well. Someone is leaving family histories on random graves in Kings County cemeteries. The Kings County museum seems to know who the gentleman is that is doing this, but he wishes to remain anonymous. Apparently he strolls around a cemetery, selects a headstone, then does some research on the person's family history. He types up the info, places it in a ziploc bag and leaves the bag at the stone for a family member to find. I think it is very interesting.

I would not call this gentleman "mad" but very caring, yet wants to be unknown. I wish someone would write bits of history and leave on the graves of some of the Conrad and Rhodenizer ancestors.
