Geocache Description:


Five Hundred TwentyThird in the Famous People (FP) Series - Laverne and Shirley
Laverne & Shirley is a sitcom that ran from 1976 to 1983. It starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney, roommates who worked in a Milwaukee brewery.

At the start of each episode, Laverne and Shirley are seen skipping down the street, arm in arm, reciting a Yiddish-American hopscotch chant: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!" This then leads into the series' theme song which is entitled "Making Our Dreams Come True" and is performed by Cyndi Grecco. During the final season after Cindy Williams left the show, the show opened with Laverne watching a group of school children perform the chant before the theme song began.

The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that show as acquaintances of Fonzie. Set in roughly the same time period as Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley started in approximately 1959, and when the series ended, it was 1967.

Once you make your way into the Smith Cemetery here in Red River county, look for the marker of Lavern S. Gurley. Get the tie-in to the name now? Just say it real fast and see what happens. That's when you know you are close to finding this small, round bucket-style container. The lid is really hard to get closed properly, so please make sure it snaps all the way around pill bottle. Enjoy your visit and be sure to check out some of the other markers here.

FP cemetery caches are always placed with regards to the location, so please be mindful of your presence here, watch where you step and be respectful of the residents interred here. Please carefully re-hide the container better to maintain the integrity of the cache.
