Theodore Donald Karabotsos Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Urban Achievers NYC: After cornfarrels log and some previous contemplating I have decided to archive this cache. I recently had an experience similar to cornfarrels where a cache brought me past a new head stone of a man 7 years younger then me and it made me wonder what the hell I was doing. With that in mind I hope everyone understands.

Since this is a cemetery I leave you with the best eulogy ever.

Donnie was a good bowler, and a good man. He was...He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors, and bowling, and as a surfer explored the beaches of southern California from Redondo to Calabassos. And he was an avid bowler. And a good friend. He died -- he died as so many of his generation, before his time. In your wisdom you took him, Lord. As you took so many birght flowering young men, at Khe San and Lan Doc AND HILL 364! These young men gave their lives. And Donny too. Donny...who...who loved bowling. And so, Theodore -- Donald--Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
