When I was little, we visited Chrystal Cemetery from time to time to pay our respects to our deceased family. I was intrigued by the stone dog marker shown in this photo. I would pet it as if it were a live dog. In later years, when I just wanted to be alone for a while, I would go to the cemetery and sit with my canine "friend" for a quiet time. In the above photo Danielle Williams, a student of mine in 1985, visited the cemetery with me.
