- I uploaded this earlier but removed it after concluding a certain portion of the audio amounted to gossip that could cause trouble not just for me but for others. Nothing scandalous, mind you, but enough to invoke an abundance of caution. Otherwise this was an ace Calvary Cemetery video, IMO.
0:01 - Anxieties and such about cemeteries where I felt I had no business being there.
2:10 - How about some Ray Liotta for your Calvary experience?
3:23 - Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore
4:35 - An authentic cemetery visitor
5:00 - Looking for Lucy
12:00 - Sometimes these graves are hard to find. Some cemetery rambles.
13:14 - I said "Urban Cowboy" meant "Midnight Cowboy". Hah, imagine the sight of John Travolta out here riding a mechanical bull at Lucy's grave. She would have loved it.
13:45 - The Devlin monument, a marble product of the Draddy Brothers.
15:06 - Is the chapel open?
16:25 - Who was she? I can't even find her name now.
17:57 - Alsop Family Cemetery, where I once fell asleep and woke up, confused about my whereabouts. Remembering the last conversation I had with my father.
22:00 - Solar powered grave ornament?
22:29 -
23:00 - The time I got a request for a gravesite photo when I was standing 20 feet away from the site.
24:17 - This is the 9/11 corner at Calvary. The Champion Tree Project, and burials of two who died that day.
26:43 - Among my favorite markers at Old Calvary. Is she climbing up, or pulling the stone down?
27:56 - Here's a marker that always gets a laugh. If only it had an exclamation point. MORRISEY ROCKS!
30:15 - Will Calvary rename the Pope John Paul II section?
30:47 - Getting late...
31:47 - Those eyes...
32:23 - HELLO MY HONEY, HELLO MY DARLING, HELLO MY RAGTIME GAL
32:45 - WALK
33:29 - Remembering the B29 bus.
Filming the godfather 1972
You don't have to know anybody there....just visit, that's all...
Aren't you the Mark Thomas that collaborated on a video with HighleyVarlet in December 2020?
Indeed I am. Had a nice afternoon with them back in... I think it was actually November.
I wrote about it here:

Are you a fan of Old Calvary as well?
@@MarkThomas181 Yes, I have been fascinated with Calvary Cemetery for many years. I have researched and visited all four sections of it many times over the years and have accumalated a vast amount of information about its internments and its history. When I watched the HighleyVarlet video in which Jessi, Mike and yourself documenting your visit to Old Calvary, I noticed you were searching for some specific gravesites, but just missed them.
I immediately felt compelled to write to Jessi and Mike and offer them my homemade maps, my own archive of information regarding grave locations and other information about Calvary's history, as I felt I could provide some help to them.
Jessi and Mike accepted my offer and I emailed them everything I had accumulated from years of exploration and research.
They told me that they might use my information if they ever visit Calvary in the future, and I was so pleased to find people on TH-cam who were interested in the cemetery as much as I was I couldn't resist the urge to contact them and see if I could help. If and when I make it back to New York myself, I would love to meet with Jessi and Mike and yourself if it is at all possible.
Calvary is quite a place, a stomping ground for me since ~2002. I actually used to make money out there as a Forensic Genealogist, aka Cemetery Photographer. If you're willing to share your research with me as well I'm at sorabji [at] yahoo [dot] com. I've also done enough research to fill a book. I was even in contact with descendants of John Johnston, at the mighty Johnston Mausoleum, which I'm sure you know well.
@@MarkThomas181 And that is a book I would definitely buy, if you ever write it! I will email you separately.
