******This box has mysteriously gone missing-- twice! And mysteriously returned both times! Is that bizzare or what? I am not sure if someone is pulling my leg? Or why this box seems to like to go for little road-trips of its own? On 11-18-08, I planted a bonus box in the top of Virgina's bush, to the LEFT of Tony. SO this way, you will get a stamp... or two?******
LOCATION: Old Church Cemetery is on Main Street, next to the Audubon on Rte 17 towards South Glastonbury.
INFORMATION: This Cemetery was established in 1823 and there are some nice old stones here with lots of history. There are also some interesting trees, but I am not good at identifying trees yet.
This is not the point of this Resting Place though. I inadvertantly came accrss the marker of my best friend's cousin, Tony Riccio. He died under suspicious circumstances in Moscow in 1994. His untimely death was under international scrutiny for some time.

Growing up with the Riccio Family as an extension of my own.... there is no doubt in my mind that there was foul play involved in this one! Tony was a very intelligent, motivated, self-actualized and outgoing individual. I am glad I found his marker today and I will honor him with a Letterbox for his personal Resting Place.
There isn't much of a 'hunt' to this one... are you ready...
CLUE: Turn into the main (and only) entrance to the Cemetery. Drive to the circle at the end. Look to your RIGHT to find Anthony Brian Riccio. Just look for #IV's purple top.
In light of this box's propensity to move around, check in Hayden & Virginia's bush next door.
