Since many list members travel extensively I thought that this request was appropriate. I am involved in a research project on roadside memorials, i.e., the white crosses and other items placed at the site of a fatal accident. I would appreciate your comments and reflections on these. Are they found in some states more than others? Do you notice them? How old is this custom? If you have comments on these and similar questions please send them to me off list. I would very much like your help in identifying and contacting people who have themselves participated in the construction of such memorials or who have friends or family so memorialized. My contact information is: Clayton L. McNearney, Department of Religious Studies, Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia. mcnearne@marshall.edu, Phone is (304)696 4641 Thanks. |
