GDG- Myles Keogh

[128thpa at comcast.net]

Joe:

I have been to that cemetery - visited Keogh, William Seward and Harriet Tubman's grave, among others.

I would be very interested in what happens to the Tubman site.  I visited the Seward and Tubman homes - both worth the time for anyone visiting that area.  People are often surprised at the Tubman and Seward connection.
