Off for duty for first day at the Bienvenidos Information Booth for the 2009 season.....
Late afternoon and we are beginning what will be a three day affair of delivering tributes to the near forty graves that we decorate for Memorial Day......

Dwight's duties include cutting back grass and weeds and brushing off the markers......

Our first stop is Fairview Cemetery where we visit the grave of Dwight's good buddy, Lowell Chambers.....
Then it's on to Memorial Gardens where we have several graves to visit. This first one belongs to the little son of one of my very favorite students..................

And our high school pal, Jimmy.........

Dwight's baby sister who only lived for one day.............

And of course, Dwight's mother--and several others.......................

Back home to set up shop on the patio to make more tributes for the big day tomorrow--The National Cemetery and Rosario Cemetery..........

WOW... Mystery solved. I've always wondered who put the rock with great writings on my brothers grave. My sister Chris and I thank you so much. My sister said that when Buzz spoke it always started with "Dwight and I went to....".

A heavly felt thanks, from the last of the Chambers family, your former Washington Ave neighbors... Charlie Chambers and Chris McKay in Placitas.

March has blown in "like a lion".  We'll see if she goes out "like a lamb"! Click on Image to enlarge calendar photo...
