Tod Benoit, Where Are They Buried? How Did They Die? by Tod Benoit


Well to bring you all up to speed on some things. I’ve been totally swamped with furthering my educational studies at school. If you don’t already know I’m going to school to become a post production film editor, or filmmaker. I’ve got the utmost wish to leave Michigan, and head west to sunny LA within 6 years from now. Despite being bogged down with school, I’m here to stay (for the time being), it’s not that I really planned on going anywhere, or had the mere thought of shutting down this blog (which is the last thing I’d do). I’m just swamped with my educational endeavors at this very moment.

Now with all that said and done. Despite the lack of updates to this blog, besides a few blurbs here and there. I’ve got some things planned being that this is the off-season for grave hunting with Michigan being under a few inches if not a few feet of snow. Up until next Spring when I get the ball rolling again, where I’ll be visiting the local cemeteries near you. I’ll be re-editing, and uploading, old cemetery video footage I’ve recorded in the past to give those videos a voice-over, and photo montage treatment.

I’m also trying to finish reading the book “Where Are They Buried? How Did They Die?” by Tod Benoit. I’ve got about 100 or so pages to read. After that’s finished I’ll be doing a review on the revised & updated version of that book. To give you guys a brief run down on the book. It offers biographical narratives on a plethora of luminaries from film, sports, history, literature, politics, etc. It’s a very enjoyable read. Not to mention it also includes detailed instructions (which I’ve put to the test) on how to find the gravesites of the subjects in the book.

One final thing I’d like to mention. I’m currently re-editing the graveside video on Roger Touhy who was a notorious Northwest side Chicago gangster during the roaring 20s. I finished the voice-over earlier today, so the video should be up on You Tube with a direct link and viewable clip on this blog, by the end of the week. So please stay tuned.
