    3. Hi Listers To Becky and other list administrators If what I'm doing is wrong, I apologies. But something has to be done to preserve the info on these headstones in this cemetery. I write this e-mail with disgust after having spent a while in this cemetery. Although the cemetery is locked and the key has to be fetched at the park office, we still find vagrants have taken over. A lot of the graves are badly overgrown and some totally illegible others badly damaged. Why this letter? I'm going back early next week and will take photo's of those that I can. Anyone wanting any particular ones can let me know off list and I'll do my utmost to get them for you. This is done for no other reason than to preserve the memories of those that are interred there. Have a good day Carol
