If you need a good reason to make your way to North Rose-Wolcott High School this coming Saturday, October 17th for the Old Wolcott Community Heritage Jubilee - it would be to come visit with Parker Maybe of Gone Graving. Parker, with the help of friends, family, and historian colleagues, has done so much for the preservation and commemoration of local history. All this in the course of a couple years - Parker is a senior in HS at NRW. Through his unquenchable desire to preserve gravestones to his drive to research those whose stones he repairs to tell their stories, Parker has afford a fresh new look and energy at Old Wolcott's history.

Come join us this Saturday and learn what this young man has been up to, and take some time to visit with his other colleagues in the history world.
