There are 147,000 tombstones in Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, and each one tells a story. The story of one in Section 87 will begin my book.

For a sneak preview and a little bit of that story, check out Green Lawn's First Saturday Program... an article by Samantha Heckathorn in today's OSU Lantern. Samantha interviews one of my very favorite storytellers, as she recounts Green Lawn's "First Saturday" Program, which highlights noteworthy aspects of the cemetery, and which paid tribute last Saturday to one of Ohio State's great visionaries.

Who was laid to rest in Section 87 and want does Samantha have to say about the individual? Why would that person begin my book? Who was interviewed? Well, I guess you will have to guess, and then click on the link to read Samantha's nice piece of work to find out!
