Ed, Yes, I saw it. probably an old re-run when I saw it for the first time in the early 80's. Didn't know they filmed it near Pittsburgh though. I know a couple of re-enactors that actually played some of zombies in the flick. I have been known to have a few odd friends from time to time. I'm no stranger to cemeteries. Besides having many close family members die when I was young, I've spent many an hour doing homework and sleeping in one in between classes when I was going through college. Great place to catch some Zzzz's.

As for hanging around cemeteries, did you ever see the original "Night of The Living Dead"? Most people don't realize that is a documentary shot near Pittsburgh.

I often like to drive through old cemeteries. You never know what someone planted there, or which trees might have some age in open growing conditions. It sometimes can lead to a new big tree discovery. Well, the Oak Hill Cemetery was no exception. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pamercer/PA/Cemetery/OakHill/oakhill.h tm A quick drive around the main road brings one smack into a very nice European larch (41 20.322N x 80 4.821W). Largest I've yet to come across, certainly the largest ENTS measured in PA, but doesn't top a previously measured one in Irvine, PA (near Anders Run Natural Area). The Oak Hill Larch comes in at a solid 12.6ft CBH x 86.3ft high x 62.74ft avg crown for 253 AF Points. The Irvine European larch on Scotts PA Big Trees list notes a 10.7ft CBH x 125ft high x 46ft spread for 265 AF Points at the Newbold Estate. http://www.pabigtrees.com/trees/species/larix_larch.htm I'm suspicious of this tree's measurements. If the Newbold Estate is the same place that I've called the old "Irvine" Estate in the past, this tree is NOT 125ft high. I know this tree. It's an obvious double that I've measured at 10.8ft CBH x 114ft high back on 10/18/06. It is located almost adjacent to the Anders Run Norway spruce Eastern U.S. height champ located in the Anders Run Natural Area. If it's the same tree, and we re-calculate for height and CBH, that double would then be 255 AF Points. Anyway, the Oak Hill larch is definitely an impressive single. Dale
