This year some of us participated in the Tour of Untimely Departures at the Lone Fir Cemetery. The evening was cold and crisp, but thankfully dry - hot drinks and wraps kept the cold at bay. As the dark decended, we had to squint to make out the leader, and lean in close to hear the other parts, but afterwards the neighboring docents, who were telling stories to the crowds, complained that it was difficult to be heard over our vigorous racket!
