Greek Tombstone

Last Veteran’s Day, which was 11-11-11 by the way, Theo’s Cub Scout pack went up to Sunset View Cemetery in El Cerrito to place flags on the graves of veterans. It was not long before I came across this interesting tombstone. I never expect to come across any Greeks out this far west this early in the 20th century. I don’t know why, I just don’t. I figure that, like my father, they get stuck on the east coast. I wonder how old this fellow was when he died.
