Christine,

A group of volunteers cleaned up Union Cemetery in Redwood City,
Calif., several years ago.  I just typed "union cemetery redwood
city" into Google, and came up with a bunch of links you may find
useful.  One of them, "Saving Graves", contained the following, which
I take the liberty of copying:

Sorry, Christine, I see that it's copyrighted.  Instead I'll express
a little gentle outrage about those - and they are legion - who
copyright something that could do a great deal of good for others and
would not hurt the creator in the slightest, if they would only let
it be copied.

Instead, I'm sending a copy of this to the Saving Graves webmaster,
Karen Dyer (or Byer (sorry, the script is too tiny for me to read)),
and ask her for permission to print her introductory message here.
