Pingback:SOAL Hoodie: Black History is not Lost it’s just Buried - Lincoln Cemetery
Hello Rachel Williams,
I am retired, but I reset upright cemetery markers with a 1/2 ton winch
on a tripod (80 lbs.).
When we meet I will show you a picture with me on a civil rights march
with MLK, Jr. (1962). I am the skinny white kid.
I plan to be at Lincoln on April 23. at 9am. I can help reset smaller markers without a tripod. I will bring my own tools.
I think the the Univ. of Harrisburg of Science and Technology should train students to be certified
in resetting gravestones. With a 1/2 ton winch it is not necessary to be a weight lifter, although it helps. The aluminum tripods are less than 50 lbs. Safety shoes and knowledge are required.
The Sons of Union Civil War Soldiers that meets at the Hbg. Museum strongly supports becoming involved with the Lincoln Cem. work.
