OAK GROVE CEMETERY CLEAN-UP
On behalf of the OGCD Board of Trustees, the families of those resting there, and the history of the town, and Randy Henderson, our Groundskeeper, we'd like to personally and publicly thank Supervisor Steve Griefer for arranging the Sheriff work crew to clean up the grounds, that are so desperately in need of some landscape maintenance. This being a County facility, we've been trying to get the crew out to clean it up for years, to no avail. Thank you, Steve for going to bat for us and getting our historical cemetery recognized.

We had a good turnout yesterday at the Divide Cemetery's Memorial Day flag lowing/bugle ceremony. Roland Elliot played Taps on his antique WWI era bugle while Tom King lowered the flag to half mast in honor of the veterans. Roland also told the history of Memorial Day and other stories of world leaders and war battles. Roland is a long time Groveland local and an 87 year old Korean War veteran. Thank you Roland, thank you Sheriff Pooley, and thank you to everyone else who attended and observed social distancing while honoring our fallen veterans.
