Re: Burbank Shrine Honors Early Aviators

Today, more than 30 bronze plaques adorn the rotunda floor. The
honorees include Charlie Taylor, the Wrights' mechanic, who built the
engine that powered the first flight.

That would be a neat place to visit. I haven't been to the Left Coast
in 15 years, but I've added this cemetary to my "must-see" list for our
next journey westward...
