My Search for Answers
To paraphrase the quotation from Shakespeare's Hamlet, something appears to be rotten in the Town of Waterdown. And I wonder how long it will take for all of the governmental bureaucracy to untangle itself.
The following is a list of letters and responses involving my search for answers to questions raised during my attempt to restore the McGregor Ross Mausoleum in the Old Pioneer Section of the Waterdown Union Cemetery.

* There was a phonecall to Steve Clarke's office during early Fall of 2008 when Steve was absent, and an email on April 23 of 2009 to relay some suggestions but, due to the nature of the cemetery business, it proved impossible to arrange or co-ordinate meetings at the mausoleum. Assurances were received that our requests would be attended to.
