Suzanne Crowson's mother, Carolyn Wigley, attended the funeral today of Gerald Young at the Alabama National Cemetery at Montevallo. Young, a Navy veteran, was a regular at The Restaurant at Campbells' Field, and a close friend of Carolyn's brother, Fred Campbell.
While we were there, we visited the graves of a few other friends and family members. Dave Randolph, an Air Force veteran, was the resident poet at the restaurant, where he sat at his place at the counter near the door and recited his funny verses. Jerry Lynn Henson was a friend of Carolyn's family. We also visited the grave of my uncle, Gary White. Carolyn placed a small American flag at each grave.
