To: All of those visiting Edgar’s grave today in Baltimore 🪦 From: Virginia & Levi ❤️We are so sorry we were hogging the memorial for so long this morning!!! Technology is great when and if it works.

All day I thought I was forgetting something! Happy Belated Birthday to the legendary Jon Astin!!!! 🖤🎉🖤

Happiest of Birthdays to John Astin! While he may be best recognised for his role as Gomez of The Addams Family, Mr. Astin also starred as Mr. Poe in the one-man stage show, Once Upon a Midnight and as Montresor in Mark Redfield's audio performance of The Cask of Amontillado. Here, Mr. Astin reads a collection of Mr. Poe's works at the Poe Monument in Baltimore.
