As far as locations go, I guess we could go out to the cemetery where Cole is buried but given the size of the place and the nature of the road and terrain, it would look like Normandy, post-Eisenhower, when we finished up out there!

Brother John,
I completely agree with your comment about Cole's grave site. I would never advocate a marker at that site.
I would propose putting his marker at or near the public library in Swansea. This site is beautiful with an historic library building. It is next to (in front of) the cemetery where many of Cole's relatives are buried.
I think the marker could indicate that he was born in Swansea, buried nearby, and founded our Fraternity.
I think a marker on that site recognizes him as our Founder without putting the actual burial site in jeopardy.
As to Mason, he was cremated and apparently buried with some other relatives. There are five or six names on his headstone! He has a small headstone with no indication of his involvement with our Fraternity.
We might be able to work with the cemetery manager to put something up near the actual grave. I understand that Lambda Chis visit the place from time to time.
When I visited his grave site it appeared well maintained and well protected.
John, thanks for your comments.
Yours in ZAX,
Mike Raymond
