Sneak Peek

At the OMLA annual meeting on March 2, 2024 at Dawes Arboretum, member Ian Adams presented about some of the lichens he came across in cemeteries as he worked on his upcoming photo book. This Place of Silence: Ohio’s Cemeteries and Burial Grounds, by Ian Adams, Randall Lee Scheiber and Robin L Smith, was published later in the year (July 2024).

I purchased a copy for my husband (and myself!) for Christmas, and we’re enjoying the excellent photography, history, and natural history that are woven together in this gem of a book. Watch for a more complete book review in the next issue of The Obelisk.
