Why is the world’s oldest man buried here? Or wasn’t he 133 years old? Where are Jim Domingo, Cyrus and Francisco? And who burnt down the old house on the hill? The kids playing hide-and-seek? Or that ageless wanderer who’d lost count of his wars, trying to keep warm on a winter night?

I have family buried there and I always heard it called Gravel Hill. You mentioned Jim McInarnay. He was my uncle. There’s a plethora of rich and raw history out there. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
