I don't really want to burst anyone's bubble, but the grave site for Mason is occupied by his entire family. I don't believe it appropriate to place a marker there, when his whole family is resting there. Also there is no really place around the grave that can hold a marker without disturbing other grave sites. Our chapter (Phi Lambda) has already talked with the historical preservation people of the cemetery and are working to get him put into their directory of distinguished members. I think that is sufficient. I understand the want to commemorate such a great man, but I don't believe that it is right to do with other people (whose lives had just as much value;possibly not to us as Lambda Chis, but value none the less) resting there. We have also thought about putting one of those historical markers at the gates to the cemetery (if you have ever been to PA and seen a historical landmark you know what I am talking about). That would certainly be more appropriate, however, we do not know how to go about that. The Woodlands Cemetery has a long a storied history filled with many people (hence the directory).
