Cliff sent me the following information about Potamo Cemetery:

Potamo is a small, cozy cemetery. A lot of the graves are unmarked or have temporary markers. Of special interest is the Troy Dorrow gravesite. I remember this guy when he was a kid, 5 or six years old. Kind of hyper and ADHD-ish. While in high school he began to knock his girlfriend around. Eventually she had him arrested and got a restraining order. After the dust settled, he threatened to kill her and her family. One night he broke through the girl's window. He was heavily armed. But the girl had taken the threats seriously, and had a shotgun by her bed. He was dead before he crossed the sill. Troy is buried apart from all the other graves. Many of his extended family rest in Potamo, but even they are some distance away. I have taken long, medium, and close shots of his ostracized location. His marker faces the woods.
