Ken Robertson’s Eerie Find Near Grey Whale Cove…
” June: I hope you were serious about my having any other questions. Coincidence has it that, even after three months of taking out the trash at Grey Whale Cove (where I shot that picture of the gun battery)

I had never been down the stairs to the beach. Just wanting to see what the bottom of the stairs looked like I ventured down. Just before the bottom and right over the large culvert there, I looked back up the cut towards the highway and found a trail had been worn half way up, ending at this headstone (being October and so close to Halloween, I thought it might have been a plastic replica that had gotten away, but the trail was obviously too well worn for that). Closer inspection proved that it was a cement and rebar creation (the cement had come away from its base, revealing two pieces of rebar supporting the rest) with a brass center plate that either had a name and epitath attached or inscribed, but was now smooth. I figure it is a relic of the WWII era but wonder if you know just who is buried there. I am suprised how many of my coworkers are unaware of its existence and no one has any idea of who might be there.

June to Ken: I don’t know.
June to Readers: Does anyone out there know what this is? Please tell us.
