Monday evening - planting palm trees







I almost forgot to post this. On Monday night, as if we hadn't done enough already, we met up with our friend, Toni Ramirez. He works for the Guam Parks/Rec/Historical Society. He invited Werner to help him plant a row of coconut palm trees in the old Navel Cemetary where the Cormorran casualties were buried. (see earlier post about this WWI German war ship).

Anyhow, Werner really enjoyed helping to "redecorate" this cemetary where some of his countrymen are buried.

Right next to this old cemetary is the Padre Palomo Park. He was the first Catholic Priest of Chamorro ancestry. There was an elementary school on this site, that was destroyed in WWII, so now there is the "Guam-like" memorial and small plot in remembrance!
