As odd as going to gravesites of people that one has never met seems to me, there is something strangely interesting about it.
I think it would be kinda cool to have members of these boards check out various burial sites and show pictures of famous or infamous people who are buried near their homes. I know, near me I have various members of the Bailey's of the Barnum and Bailey circus burried in a little, out of the way cemetary.
I also live not too far from Watertown, Wisconsin which is the birthplace of Fred Merkle. While he is not buried there, the town has erected a small monument to him. There is also a town where my inlaws are from in Northern Illinois where former Cubs pitcher, Carl Lundgren is buried. I would be willing to go out and take some pictures of these and other sites.
As I said this is a bit weird yet interesting to me and I know my wife will look at me like I am crazy when I tell her what I am going to do but hey, it is something to do on a Saturday......right? LOL
