When Grandson Malcolm was born, the parents asked what I wanted him to call me.

“Call me when he’s self-supporting,” was not an option I was told.

My second suggestion, Hu, was also rejected.

Like your family, I thought it would be neat to knock on the door and hear the dialog.

Knock, Knock.

Who’s there?

Hu.

Who?

Hu. (Repeat to infinity.)

It was always a joke in our house. Where were you born? Ware Where? and so on, sort of a "Who's on First" I should think the Ware cemetary was in Ware (IL, about 15 miles north toward Anna) My mom was born in Ware. It was always a joke in our house.
Where were you born?

and so on, sort of a “Who’s on First”

The last time I was in Cape, some cousins and I visited many small cemeteries to get photos of family headstones.Just thinking about Wib's makes me hungry - it's been many a year since I've eaten there.

Interesting history in it's own right. Always journey there when I visit 'home'. What a lunch crowd and faithful following they always seem to have. I believe Wib's and the Blue Hole were the only places in the country which did sliced pork BBQ sandwiches toasted that way. Another interesting and no longer used cemetery near Jackson is on a wooded hill adjacent to Rt. 34. The hill rises west, near a bridge about a half mile before 34's intersection with Rt. 72. I had always noticed a path up that hill as I traveled by. One day my aunt told of trudging up it as a child with my grandfather to a buriel sometime in the 1930s. One visit home I parked along the highway, treked up and found a magical setting for a cemetery; a wooded, grassy glade with tombstones scattered among trees tall enough to shade all the graves. No doubt the hilltop was an open field when established as a graveyard in the 1800s. And, yes, I found my namesake buried there. The 1930s appeared to be the last of the buriels at that place. Despite this section of Rt. 34 receiving a major upgrade, the cemetery remains. Yes, Wib’s BBQ. Interesting history in it’s own right. Always journey there when I visit ‘home’.

Little cemeteries are scattered all over. When I was a kid delivering papers, this one was way out in a field. Today it’s in the middle of a housing development. Fortunately, it’s been maintained.

You’ll hear me say from time to time that we are alive only so long as someone remembers us.
