Grave Yard Walks
I want to thank Paul & Barbara for all the wonderful work they did this year on the Graveyard Walks... This is my third year as a "prominent person from the past" We on this side of the veil do not like the term "ghost" and I always have great time. Thank you for inviting me to play.. ~ Susan Jennings: 2011

Look for these historic figures to appear.
Characters expected to surface at the cemetery this year are some of our local World War II heroes including brothers Ray and Eldon Haskell who both lost their lives in WWII. Vera Brown, perhaps a spy? John Taylor, a navy submariner and Emily Martin, a nurse.
