The "Wrecking Crew"

Freezeout Cemetery 12th, 13th & 14th 2002

l-r rear: Patricia Cox-Phythian, Nancy Bland-Crone, James Phythian, Vermel Gates-Bland, Richard Crone & Gail Blackmon

l-r front: Clara Troutman-Phythian, SC Bland & yours truly Asa Castleman

note: Nolan Bland was techinal advisor and Nolan Bland Jr. worked hard while he was able to be there, they both left before pictures could be taken.

In addition to these hardy souls, credit must be given to the Alcoa equiptment operator that cleared the front entrance and, one lawn mower "Blue Monster" (wore plumb out the second day, SC thinks it is a bull dozer), one 18" chain saw "Old Reliable" (gonna need a new chain for sure), a string cord trimmer with a saw blade attachment (on it's second blade, a small tool in the hands of a big man performs miracles), one grubbing hoe (nearly worn out by Richard digging out Mesquite bushes), various prunning shears and trimmers, a shovel, hoe and rake.
