Very interesting. Lived in Boston for two years while my husband was in grad school. I wish I had been more interested in genealogy and cemeteries then. Many trips to Harvard Square, but never the cemetery. Thanks for the post.
I know what you mean, but you were really young, and had other things on your mind. BTW, I am going to comment on your post tomorrow (computer about to go to sleep), I love those photos, never knew the groundhog had a park! Thank you for writing.
