Mike Gaffron <br /> From: Union Cemetery Association [union.cemetery@live.com] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2012 2:37 PM <br /> To: Mike Gaffron <br /> Subject: RE: Union Cemetery Board? <br /> Hi Mike <br /> Yes, I am the main contact for the cemetery, I have all the records at my house. <br /> There is no map available for distribution, the map we have have is very large and list only the lot numbers. <br /> If people are searching for a grave they can let us know and the grave will be marked with a stake. <br /> The telephone (voice mail) number for the cemetery is: 952-491-0753. <br /> Mail for the cemetery should be sent to: <br /> 448 Mill Street, Long Lake, Mn 55356, or dropped off at Rettinger Funeral Home in Long Lake. <br /> This summer two people have voiced critical opinions about the maintenance, wishing it to be more like Lakewood or the <br /> Wayzata cemeteries. We have never provided that level of service, and will not- Wayzata public employees cost about <br /> $50,000 per year (per Dave Dudinski via Sam Rettinger) and that is something we will not do. Cemetery policy has <br /> always been to mow &trim and to rely on volunteers for all other tasks. FYI - we are working with the Lions Club and <br /> have scheduled a fall clean-up for October 20. <br /> Liz <br /> From: MGaffron(aci.orono.mn.us <br /> To: union.cemeteryOlive.com <br /> Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:05:43 -0500 <br /> Subject: Union Cemetery Board? <br /> Liz— <br /> We (Orono City Hall staff) occasionally are on the receiving end of inquiries about Union Cemetery, and they run the <br /> gamut— such as who runs it, who maintains it, how do we contact someone there for purchasing plots, is there a listing <br /> of who's interred there, how do we donate to it, etc. We normally refer these inquiries to you. The most recent one <br /> asked if there is a cemetery board of directors and do we have their names and contact numbers. We don't, so I figured <br /> you are the'go to' person on this. Any chance you can forward such a list to me? Thanks in advance for any information <br /> you have available. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.
