The photo didn't turn out, so on a trip back from Ft. Wayne, I passed through again.

One of them appears to be a tracer round. <br /><br />I looked up your classmate on Wikipedia... what a heroic sacrifice. I wish I would've seen that before. Next time I pass through, we'll leave a flower.

I recall coins but not cartridges at Annie Oakley's grave, but I can't say for sure whether that's because it's a recent development or something that's slipped from my leaky memory. A Medal of Honor recipient, a high school classmate, is also buried in that cemetery. I was mildly surprised when I pulled up the cemetery on Google Maps and found his stone pictured along with Annie's. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Brock+Cemetery,+Versailles,+OH+45380/@40.2603759,-84.5604533,15z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x0:0x8aad056e2f1b3a66!2sBrock+Cemetery,+Versailles,+OH+45380!3b1!8m2!3d40.260514!4d-84.5603813!3m4!1s0x0:0x8aad056e2f1b3a66!8m2!3d40.260514!4d-84.5603813<br />DennyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027558681912733768noreply@blogger.com
