He has a collection of short stories too. "Winters' Tales: Stories and
Observations for the Unusual" by Jonathan Winters, 1988.
Another set of burials was "discovered" in City Hall Park, in NYC, where,
coincidentally, City Hall, is and the so-called "Tweed Courthouse" which was
to be the new Museum of the City of New York, but the new Mayor moved the
Dept. of Education into it after its extensive renovation.
I cleared one double burial enough to have them move the water fountain
planned for that location. It is said to be the location of the Almshouse
cemetery. Apparently very few artifacts were found, though the one small
wooden object had an impression like the proverbial two tablets the Biblical
Moses came down from the mountain with, perhaps part of a Jewish burial.
Trouble with working as crew, you never know, well most times, what the
results are so unlike many other occupations where "feedback" is pretty
quick, i.e., the furniture goes on the truck or it doesn't.
Has anyone seen an artifact like it, perhaps worn on the wrist?
