I wonder if I'm related to the Pitts there?.. since my last name is Pitts It's always so interesting& educational to hear Dan talk about the history of everything I injoy it since i'm a history freak I wonder if at some of the places that you visit / visted that can be metal detected that would be so interesting never know what lies beneath =)

Careful around the stones, they may look secure, but can topple at anytime and can break bones and even kill if someone was under them. I'm sure you got the cleaning kit from Atlas Preservation. They also have videos on properly reseting monuments as well. kzfaq.info/love/4x-X3waV9Kcj0kuLdSGnxQ

The candy store that Dan talked about sounded EXACTLY like the one my grandparents owned when I was a small girl! I vividly remember the big glass case with open boxes of "penny candy" and the big red cooler filled with green GLASS bottles of Coca-Cola. My grandparents sold that store the year I turned 14. In my memory I had to stand on tip-toes to reach the bottle opener on the side of the cooler.....so maybe 4 or 5 years old.

To keep them stones from moving on one another,if all joints are loose remove the joints,cpl strong guys have no problem,take a good brush to clean any old adhesive off,shoot some F26 Adhesive on put section back on,make sure it's straight because after a cpl minutes your not gonna hardly move it again,what I would do is another section every 24 hours,as long as your base is level,then no need to wait for each section,I'd give each section probably 5 min then do the next!Great job guys!

👍👍👍👍👍 - glad you straightened the headstone before the top fell off and broke. Vibrations can move stone. One vibration I can think of is thunder. With the headstone leaning it helps with the displacement of balance and the vibration takes care of the rest. Or some idiot thought it would be cool to lean against it as he talked and it slid out of line. Ooops
