GDG- NPS & slavery segway to Farnsworth

[Jack Lawrence]

Well.

The Cemetary is in Bobby Lee's front yard, after all.....

Over 2,000 unknowns are buried right outside his front door.

There are a a quarter million stories IN the cemetary, but we are talking 
about the story OF the Cemetary.

BTW, I am glad someone knows how many are buried in the Cemetary, because 
the folks at the cemetary sure do not know.
Regards,

Jack

Did Elon Farnsworth have the right idea, even if the execution was weak and 
ineffective?
