Russ’s tombstone in the works

Woodward Monument Company, in Woodward, Oklahoma (about 50 miles east of Higgins, Texas) is snail mailing me a contract, which I will return with half the payment and the other half due on setup in the Higgins Cemetery. For a slant stone. So the ball is rolling.

UPDATE: It’s got some serious rolling to do, probably won’t be set up until November or December. Backlogs on granite delivery all over the place. Including at Woodward. Snail mail, indeed. Six days later the contract has yet to be mailed. Taking their time, out there in small-town America.
