Bio

As my Findagrave Profile name suggests, I am one of the many people to be diagnosed with Autism (Aspergers, to be specific). As one diagnosed with this syndrome, one of my characteristics is that I focus my attention around specific subjects. Most people with Autism or Aspergers may focus thier attention on dogs or subway routes. During my early high school years, I was fixated with graves after I stumbled across Findagrave. I would usually travel to cemeteries within my neck of the woods (Pennsylvania's Main Line), or whenever I was on vacation. Eventually, I felt that my fixation with cemeteries became morbid, so I slowly shifted my attention onto another subject: the US Presidents. To this day, I can still recite (1) the names of the Presidents of the United States in chronological order from George Washington to Donald Trump, (2) the years they served in office, and (3) thier Vice Presidents. I also have an odd interest in visting State Capitol Buildings. Every once in a while, however, I would enjoy roaming around a cemetery (mainly if a President was buried in the cemetery). In October 2008, I decided to create my own Findagrave account, so here I am =)


I also have a great interest in cities that sit right on state borderlines. Not only does Linwood, Pennsylvania, sit on a state borderline (next to Claymont, Delaware), the entrance to Lawn Croft Cemetery (according to Google Maps) is 0.2 miles away from the PA/DE State Borderline. I frequent that cemetery a lot for photo requests; if I fulfilled one for you at Lawn Croft, you're welcome. (Years ago, I spent a night at Fenwick Island, Delaware, for this reason. I slept in a motel at Fenwick Island, got ice cream in Fenwick Island, walked on the Fenwick Island's beach, but I had breakfast and supper in Ocean City, Maryland.)
