"Forest Hills Cemetery paperback" according to Captain Rita. Anthony Mitchell Sammarco wrote another excellent book. My mother wished there was a picture of the Fireman's Memorial but we know he is limited to the amount of photos he can put in his book. Maybe if he did a book on the Boston Fire Department.. Five Stars Excellent book about one of my favorite places in the world.
