A's father was the oldest of twin boys, his brother still lives nearby.  My parents were married in 1967 and soon after gave birth to my crazy tail.  Most stories will be from what I have been told because there isn't much memory for me to tell. One of the memories though was that he had a CB in his Dodge car and his handle was the Dodge Boy and mine the Little Dodge Boy.  He was an avid sports fan, playing a lot of softball for the Uniroyal team out of Shelbyville.  I do know that they brought me home from the hospital into a house on Easy St, which is nearby to the final.  We dind't live there long until we moved to Wheel and then eventually Shelbyville.  I was the joy in his life yet he had many demons that would eventually overcome him.  They had a party after working a lot of overtime one night at the Roadside Park on Hwy 64, where we have another cache placed.  He decided to leave early and was carrying a lady home.  He fell asleep and ran into a pond on Deadman's Curve near the Shelbyville city limits and both passed away.  I can still visit places in Lewisburg and have people that remember when I was a little boy staying with my Grandmother.  Please enjoy yourself while here, the cemetery is beautiful and named for a huge Lone Oak tree that used to be close by this location.  Now for the puzzle:

He was born June 16, 194A?

How many letters are in his first name? B

How many words in the bible verse on the back of the tombstone and subtract 9? C

How many letters in the month he passed away? D

His numerical rank in the military? SP E

All the characters on the tombstone, front and back, multiplied by 0? F

Good luck!
