      I'm enjoying how you are hunting all these markers down and taking pictures of them.

      Thanks! I'm not exactly hunting them down, I'm just trying to capture the image and the text of markers like this that I come across. I just want them to be known and searchable and available to friends and family across space and time.

      Good deeds like donating this beautiful land into a public trust should be remembered. I do find it disappointing that the Trustees of Reservation Stavros Reservation site doesn't seem to acknowledge the donors and the dedication

      If I ever had land to donate I'd erect my own monument...

      I stand corrected -- there is a page on the Stavros site that lists the donor: "Original acreage a gift of Mary F. Stavros in 1982. Additional land purchased in 1985."
