Because the site has become something of a reference directory (and
because initially I didn't know for sure whether a great many former
members of Congress were alive or not) I do list thousands of still-living
politicians.

In a few cases, I have heard about politicos who have cemetery spaces
reserved or monuments installed.  That information is useful when the time
comes, since news obits usually don't mention the cemetery of interment.

So, I really appreciate this.  Thank you.

I will add your name to the Political Graveyard acknowledgements (on the
questions and answers page) unless you'd rather not be listed.

Hmm, I see I already have two other people named Wilds in the
acknowledgements list, whereas not even one of 100,000-plus politicos in
my database has that surname.

If you'd like to have a PoliticalGraveyard.com bumper sticker, just send
me your postal address, and I'll put one in the mail to you.

Best wishes, and again, many thanks for your help!
