A proud pose... hope he likes what he sees wherever he is and hopefully the rests finally.

He should like what he sees. It's a pretty spot where he's at. He should also be happy that the city remembers him every year with a big celebration for the people he liked best - the children.

Really? Wow. Then he would be very happy that he's not forgotten. We have a museum here too with the old circus stuff, wagons and carosels, old photos. It was damaged in the hurricane but has reopened.

I know! I've discovered so many horror movies from the 1970s and 80s that I love on YOUTUBE. I don't have so much time to watch them but its fun to see what they have.

I saw it when I was in the army on manuevers. They set up a movie tent (we had been out in the woods for 2 months on special duty) and they showed all horror films. Popcorn was free and beer/soda was 25 cents. I had the best time.

It's true. At that time, it was tough so having a movie night was such a nice thing to do.

Graves, especially the older ones have interesting and skillfully crafted statuary. My other pics were not graves but statues of angels and saints displayed in a Christian shrine.
