The Burnham monument in Glen Oak Cemetery, Hillside IL. I had never seen a metal marker before. I came home, got on the net to research its manufacturer, Monumental Bronze Company, and the rest is history!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SEyVLzClcy8/SVln0ldci9I/AAAAAAAAAAU/1rnnN8PWpEQ/s1600-h/zincblog1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285369790802463698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 130px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SEyVLzClcy8/SVln0ldci9I/AAAAAAAAAAU/1rnnN8PWpEQ/s200/zincblog1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3177179512004845311-9053464828460550711?l=zincmarkers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lynn Johansenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10409047788362388994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177179512004845311.post-12701314188014821812008-12-28T17:51:00.001-06:002008-12-28T18:20:19.331-06:00I am so excited!
