Thanks to all who responded to the question of the best way to read worn grave stones. There certainly is a variety of thoughts on this. It seems though, the method of using infrared film (erroneously called ultraviolet film by me) is not widely known of, or if so, not widely used. As a method that would not touch the stone at all, it may hold some promise. If anyone comes across information on this, please pass it on to the List. Thanks again, Jay
