<DIV>I remember as teenager back in the early 50s when they build Folsom Dam
and Lake near me. They spent days just removing all of the known graves from
the valley and putting them all together at a new site with the remains and
the stones. It was quite a job and the new cemetery is quite big but the
relatives can still go and see there ancestors and that's what its all about.
I don't know when we took this terrible attitude toward the dead but I think
we need to do all we can to see that Oregon gets new laws that protect them.
It should flat out be against the law to desecrate a grave or move it without
the permission of the descendants and or a court order and then they should
only be moved not just plowed under and forgot.</DIV>
