Jan. 26, 2008 1 p.m.., main library, Language of the Stones, When you see a rose on a gravestone do you know what it means? Does it make any difference if the rose is fully open? What if it is closed? When an expert iconographer looks at a gravestone he can decipher things that would remain a mystery to the rest of us. The fascinating science and art of nterpreting gravestones will be the subject of a presentation by Gaylord Cooper, author, folklorist, and storyteller.
