My father loved walking through cemeteries,
particularly older ones with older headstones. My
father considered death simply part of life and liked
looking at the history on the headstones. My father,
who almost became a history professor [he actually
became a research chemist for Gulf Oil], was an avid
amateur historian.

Such programs would provide a good service to people
who have the same interests as my father had.
