Re: Re-burial of Confederate Patriot W.H. Grist

Gail: No, I don't have any pictures! Wish I did! I took a camera, but was too much involved with the ceremony to take it out and take pictures. I marched from the staging area with the hearse as an escort for two of the ladies, then, once at the cemetery, one of the pallbearers was overcome by the heat, and I was asked to fill in for him, which was an unexpected and great honor! By that point, there was no chance of taking pictures, as it would have spoiled the atmosphere to have pulled a camera out! What a great and glorious day it was! Were you a uniformed participant? Do yo have pictures? Thanks! -- Jim Huffman, Gainesville Vols
