Aside from the sad news regarding the state of the cemetery, I sure appreciate everyone's feedback on how to best visit Meriden. If I was driving, I would be more than happy to haul along some tools and get the Parker plot cleaned up. Unfortunately, expediency for these assessment visits usually dictates airline travel from Nashville. I doubt the TSA guys would approve of lawn care implements in my carry-on, eh?
Good tip on the Museum, Brian. I'll be sure to make prior arrangements, if they are amenable to my timing.
I'm looking forward to the visit, no matter what I see. I'll post some pictures after my time in the hometown of our beloved Parker's.
