A few expose superstitions of the era. Many depict the careers, interests and lifestyles of the individuals interred below the stones.
View PowerPoint photos of beautifully hand-carved headstones, many in the shape of trees, with images of ivy, ferns, calla lilies, birds, wheat, corn and other natural subjects, as well as the logos of several local organizations.

“‘Dear Lenny’ has the fizz, elegance and smoothness of a champagne cocktail.”
– Pioneer Press
Chronofon–Bradley Greenwald, Prudence Johnson, Diana Grasselli, and Dan Chouinard–is returning to Landmark Center’s F.K. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium to present “Dear Lenny: Bernstein’s Life in Songs & Letters,” their meditation on Leonard Bernstein’s commitment to music, love, and the artist as progressive social activist.
Bernstein’s masterpieces from Broadway, the concert hall, and the silver screen—together with his fascinating and candid correspondence with Aaron Copland, Steven Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Bette Davis, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and more—will be presented in a theatrical concert that, as Bernstein would put it, “appeals to both the intellect and the heart.” Support is provided in part by Minnesota Landmarks/Landmark Center.

Odysseus took 10 arduous years to return from the Trojan War. There are real life veteran legends like Jesse Owens and Hugh Thompson, but no heroic epic in history compares to the growing cadre of women veterans who dare to stand up to the travesty of military sexual assault.
We expect at least one mystery celebrity guest, but confirmed tellers include Veterans Derek Anders-Turner and Hector and Trista Matascastillo; Elaine Wynne, EMDR Therapist and Founder of Veteran Resilience Project (VRP); Mark Wagler, Founder of Northlands Storytelling Network; and Carol McCormick, veteran spouse and leader in Story Arts MN.
Admission is free, but reservations are recommended. The evening includes information tables from veteran support groups. For more information, or to reserve a seat or table, contact Larry Johnson, Veteran and Storyteller, at larryjvfp@gmail.com.
