Re: [FWDLK] '57 Plymouth Waking from Time Capsule

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My Mother-in-law  is in a "Double Deep" Vault with a 100 year guarantee 
to be leak proof. We will see when it's opened to lay to rest my 
Father-in-law when his time comes (he's 96).
My heirs can did them up at  99 years to see if we get an new vault.

Hi all:
 
Looks to me like someone should have consulted Digger O'Dell back in 
1957 for advice on how to properly inter a "body."  (pun intended)  I 
worked in a mortuary while I was going to college out here in CA back 
in '61-'64 and the vault technology then was pretty advanced.  We 
interred about 1,000 caskets in vaults a year and I would not be afraid 
to bet everyone of them is bone dry (another pun intended).  Hope there 
were lots of lessons learned for future time capsules of significant 
size.
