I was surprised at how easily I found it, but was stunned when I looked at the next grave because it had my name on it. I never knew my paternal grandfather but I was named after him and my Dad, and it was his grave.<br />Still a bit jarring to see my name on the headstone.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-50201815145545872742022-08-09T06:57:43.418-04:002022-08-09T06:57:43.418-04:00The house where I was born still stands in Brookly...The house where I was born still stands in Brooklyn, although much has changed in the neighborhood due to urban renewal.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.com
