Bio

Never forget. Been on Findagrave many years. A passion to preserve the memory of those gone on. I'm not looking for anything but to help preserve graves, photos, and memories. I was a former history professor and commissioner of the Tennessee Historical Commission. My expertise was Native American history with emphasis on the Cherokee. I began cemetery work with pen and paper in the 1970s. I love findagrave. I dont agree with many on what findagrave should be used for, and i consider it the most useful genealogical search engine and tool. I love photos added to the people for its easy to find online. I want to make each memorial better than i found it and i hope to find a caring descendant to take the memorial. Or, im happy to manage it; add to it; change it or help in any way. This is a passion and i love cemeteries.


Of note: if i find a memorial with the gravestone upside down or sideways, i will correct it and put the new one back up. So often i find many veterans like this and done by certain individuals. If i do it i mean no offense. Correct it and contact me and i will delete my corrected photo. I want to work with others. I appreciate many that do findagrave because i came from the era of taking down info from tombstones on paper and printing the books. Today it takes a team to make these memorials nice.
