11^2 X ? for 11^3: Special Photographs Set: 315/365: Meeting The Deceased's Family

12:16:18 PM, EST.

Part of my 11/11/11 Flickr project was to revisit prior "365" images in some way. Since I was also photographing graves of veterans for the Veterans' Day aspect, I visited three cemeteries in Macon. The third cemetery was Glen Haven Memorial Gardens, so I could take 'new' photographs of my 365 images for 11/1/11 (a childhood friend of David's) and 11/8/11 (fulfilling a favor for a fellow Find A Grave contributor).

No sooner did I walk away from the latter grave than I noticed two ladies walking up to it and changing the flower arrangement. I thought, "Hm ... that has got to be Mrs. Hall ..." They couldn't help but notice me staring at them, so I walked back and struck up a conversation. Sure enough, these are the mother and sister of Randall Gene Hall (1958 - 1983); the widow and daughter of Milton D. Hall (1936-2007).

I kind of stole the thunder of my Find A Grave friend, who had wanted the memorial made in time for Randall's birthday on 16 November. When I explained what the heck I was doing, his sister turned to her mother, said "I bet I know who asked her to do this," and sure enough named him. The gentleman has never missed getting in touch with his old friend's family on the appropriate day. They love him for it.

Thankfully, it turns out I did not freak these ladies out - actually, they appreciated what I'd done. Yayness.

Posted, most definitely, with their permission.

===============================================

11^2 X ?:
My original intention was to take 11 sets of 11 photographs (11^2 = 121). I ended up taking 847, not all of them useable. I don't know how many different sets I'll wind up posting.
