Evergreen Cemetery

First of all, I apologize for getting a post up sooner. Had something come up after church, and just got home.

Anyways, I went to check out the History Tour at Evergreen Cemetery Saturday morning. Our host was Chris Gomez, of Boy Scout Troop 37, a young gentleman out to earn his Eagle. As his community service project, he chose to set up and organize this tour. The entire Troop was out to support Chris's efforts. Scouts were positioned at various locations to talk about the famous ( or infamous) people buried there. The you men had researched their subjects pretty well, to include a photograph of the people they were discussing. CHris chose some of the great movers and shakers of El Paso's history, including Joesph Magoffin, Juan Hart, C.N. Bassett and of course Alber bacon Fall.

My hat's off to Chris and Troop 37 for a job well done. I hope on of the young scouts decides to continue the tradition and build from Chris's project and do it again next year.
