ABOUT ME...
 
Rapidly approaching 50-year-old husband,  father, and Goonie movie fanatic.  Still banging my head to 80s hair metal, but everything hurts more now after a concert. Love exploring the back roads looking for odd roadside attractions.  And finally an aspiring terrible tennis, pickleball, and racquetball player.

Join me on a trip to Highland Cemetery in Wichita, Kansas, to pay respects to a Hollywood legend, Sidney Toler. Best known for his iconic portrayal of the polite and philosophical detective Charlie Chan, Toler starred in 22 Chan films, bringing the character to life for a generation of moviegoers. Before his detective days, Sidney Toler was a successful playwright and stage actor, but it is his role as the sharp-witted investigator that cemented his legacy. In this video, we visit his final resting place, a humble family plot where he is buried alongside his parents, including his father Hooper G. Toler. We’ll explore the history of his career, his transition from Broadway to Hollywood, and the story behind the man who solved some of cinema's greatest mysteries.

Tommy "Porkchop" Markham (1941–1993) left an indelible mark on country music history as the dedicated drummer for legend Conway Twitty for over three decades. Born in Conway, Arkansas, Markham left teacher's college in 1962 to join the "Twitty Birds," where he became the rhythmic backbone of the band and played on massive studio hits like the 1974 number-one single "I See the Want To in Your Eyes." Beyond keeping the beat, his creative contributions extended to songwriting—co-penning tracks like "Before Your Time" for Twitty and Loretta Lynn—and even stepping up to the mic to sing on The Conway Twitty Show album. Passing away at just 52 in Davidson County, Tennessee, from diabetes complications, Porkchop's legacy remains a fascinating, albeit quieter, piece of music history for anyone exploring the stories behind the legends resting in country music's heartland.

Saying goodbye to Mittens my loyal friend for 18 years.

The Turning Angel of Natchez is a hauntingly beautiful monument located in the historic Natchez City Cemetery in Mississippi, steeped in both local tragedy and eerie legend. Erected following the devastating Natchez Drug Company explosion of 1908, the statue was purchased by the company's devastated owner to commemorate the lives of five young female employees who perished in the disaster. However, it is the monument's ghostly optical illusion that draws modern road-trippers and cemetery explorers to the site. Thanks to its specific placement near Cemetery Road, the headlights of passing cars sweep across the stone figure at night, creating the unsettling illusion that the angel is physically turning her head to watch you drive by. This mesmerizing blend of sorrowful history and local folklore makes it a must-see for anyone exploring Southern oddities.

Doreen Viola Hansen Wilber (1930–2008) is a legendary figure in the world of competitive archery, proving that greatness can sometimes start entirely by accident. Born in Rutland, Iowa, Wilber's journey to Olympic gold began when her husband, a local mechanic named Paul "Skeeter" Wilber, accepted a bow and a set of arrows as payment for an auto repair bill. With Skeeter acting as her only coach and absolutely no professional training, she astonishingly shot her way to the top of amateur archery, ultimately winning a gold medal at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. Following her passing in 2008, she was laid to rest in the Jefferson Cemetery in Jefferson, Iowa. If you are exploring the area, there is also a fantastic statue of her in Jefferson positioned along the Lincoln Highway; she is aiming at a target across an intersection that represents the exact distance of her historic winning shot. Her resting place and hometown monument make for a uniquely inspiring stop for anyone exploring Midwest history and sports legends.
