Dear Mr. Haulman;
Let me introduce myself, my name is Michael Touchette and I am survivor of Jonestown.
I was in the first group of six workers that went to Guyana in 1974 and I was there till the end.
I lost ten family members in Jonestown and I know that some of them are buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
Over the years I have always wanted to visit the grave site and I finally had the chance about two years ago. It was a very moving, emotional experience for me, one that I still feel the effect of.
It meant a lot to me to see the plaque that identified the grave site of the ones how died in Jonestown, but to imagine a Memorial with all the names of our Loved ones, including Jim Jones, is some thing that I feel is badly needed. To me it makes the grave site more personal.
If if is humanly possible I will be there May 29.
Thank You for your time
Michael Touchette
