Only you could do that. I had to laugh at the Butts name myself. Don't you know that person was teased as a child? The mosaic art inside was breathtaking. I can see why you enjoyed looking at it in person. Knowing the history behind it is even better. I do enjoy reading markers on old tombstones at historic cemetaries myself. It's always interesting to see how long they lived and read the old names.

I used to go over there as a kid and read the tombstones. I used to get creeped out when I would find a bunch of babies' headstones from the same family. (There were a LOT of babies in that cemetery.)
