Letter to Editor Sir: Tuesday of last week I stopped at Wood Lawn cemetery in At kinson to visit our relatives’ graves. To my horror, I found a well-dressed, reddish-hair wom an, about 45-years-old, picking the geraniums that were bloom ing on my grandmother’s grave. She said she guessed she owed us an apology and then offered to pay for the flowers. “They were so beautiful, I just couldn’t help it,” she related. I was so shocked, I just said, “No.” Two plants from another grave in our plot had been dug up. This is not the first time this has happened to our graves. I wonder if any other people in Atkinson have had the same trouble.
