Yesterday I trekked on over to Holy Sepulcher Catholic cemetery on 10 mile a few blocks west of Telegraph in the stunning city of Southfield, Michigan. Being that I got the day started somewhat late I had to get there before the office closed at 4. And in this respect I didn’t have time to write out the usual note card biographies I use for the camcorder narration. Instead I just picked three grave sites to track down and that was it. I figured I’ll go back to Holy Sepulcher this week coming up to do some videography and more photos.

Anyway about yesterday’s trip. I found three grave sites they were  Owen P. Hammerberg who was a WWII Medal of Honor recipient who served in Hawaii when the Japanese went nuts, Steve Gromek & Barney McCosky who were both Major League baseball players. As I was walking back to my car from Owen’s grave site. An older gentleman came driving up in a minivan and we ended up getting into a discussion about Owen’s grave site and how he was the only Medal of Honor recipient in the cemetery then we talked about various other notables buried in the cemetery I mentioned a few mafia guys and what not and a few other ball players. Then we parted ways.

Today I went downtown to Elmwood cemetery for the millionth time this month I was there about four hours my day got cut short unfortunately when the batteries in my digital camera went dead. Before quitting for the day my dad surprised me at the cemetery for what ever reason I have no idea so I took him on a mini tour of the area in Elmwood I was in.

To summarize I had two splendid days at the cemetery. I really enjoy running into people and getting into discussions about various people buried in them.
