Bio and Links
Bio Photo Hello I'm John T. Griffith, born in Oceanside California, a Viet Nam War US Army MP Veteran and a former CHP Officer. In September 2002, I assisted the National Archives Administration Center, Missouri, in replacing lost and destroyed US Army files. It was during that research project I discovered Find A Grave, wanted to be a part of it's concept and became a member. I have always had a passion for history and the people who have lived it. People in everyday life who through the needs and demands of their times shaped the world. I believe each day is a gift and the best part of any day is that day. I'm also a professional musician, still performing and haved shared the stage with many named artists. In addition, I'm a vintage guitar expert who has contributed, plus co-wrote for many vintage guitar books and articles in magazines about the subject. Plus I'm a photographer, writer and historian, for the San Diego Reader. I, my wife Mary and our Dachshund "Timmy", reside in Vista, California. Thanks and best regards, John

Actor Favs
Just went through your Virtual Cemetery of Actor Favs. Saw so many old actors that I had not thought about in years. Really enjoyed seeing the photos and reading about them. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks for linking his parents! No relation of mine, so no need for a transfer. I went to this cemetery looking for photo requests today and realized many memorials weren't listed, so I just clicked away with my camera! I have many to add, but thought it was important to include the families! :)

John,

Thank you so much for photographing my Dad's grave site! For some reason I never got a photo of it. I am very grateful to you for your kindness.

Many Thanks,

John,

Thank you. Rich was a very good friend of mine. I would see him when I was out at Pearl for the memorial services. We would sit and talk for hours. He was living history to me. He's a great loss to what is out there. Thanks very much.

Respectfully,

HMC(FMF) Ed Keenan

RE: Wallace Elbert Johnson bio
Thanks, John. Wallace is only distantly related. His father would be my great grand uncle so a transfer isn't necessary, although I appreciate you asking. I'm just trying link all my Johnson ancestors together.

A note of thanks!
I have just read several of your bios on WWI and II heroes. We enjoyed them very much. My husband was in Viet Nam from 1972-73. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1970. Your work is well done in all aspects of research!
Thanks for doing such a good job! Cheryl
