A Sweet Postscript

NOTE: Chris, the British journalist/author whose grandfather, Frank Marhoff, I wrote about after visiting Oakwood Cemetery in Montgomery, Alabama has named his new son Harry Peter Montgomery Hunt. Chris discovered my original post last November and we corresponded and I again wrote about this story.

I am happy to hear of the start of Frank Marhoff's great-grandson Harry's life and that his name will carry a part of his grandfather's story forward. Congrats Chris and family!

What a cute baby! But that website's background color made me want to rip my eyes out...

How nicely laid out and how pretty the flowers are in this cemetery. I am sure the families are pleased.

How absolutely right! A great beginning to another story.

Jackie,
This is a huge cemetery but the Brit agency in charge of providing upkeep does a wonderful and respectful job on honoring the fallen.

Marion,
It was neat to hear again from Chris. I expect to see one day that he has written a book that somehow brings his grandfather's story to greater attention. The whole story of the ordinary soldier/pilot and his/her service is one often overlooked.
