Colma’s lovely Cypress Lawn Memorial Park is trying something new:  a book club!  You can find out the basic idea at the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation’s website.

I’m honored to say that Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel was chosen to be the book club selection for May.

Come join me this Thursday, May 21 to discuss Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel.

The book club will meet at 11 a.m. in Cypress Lawn’s Reception Center at 1370 El Camino Real, Colma, California. If you’d like more information, please contact Terry Hamburg.

Future books will range from autobiographies and novels written by people interred at Cypress Lawn and may include more cemetery history or history of the San Francisco Bay Area.  When possible, the book club will visit the appropriate grave sites.

I’ve belonged to a book club before, so I’m very much looking forward to this experience.  The first couple of meetings have been full of interesting information.

Even if you’re not close enough to attend, you can still read along with us!

Here’s a taste of Wish You Were Here:
