MARION, OH--
A President's tomb, a mysterious tombstone globe and a popcorn museum

The Harding tomb is the burial site of our country's 29th president (1921-1923), Warren G. Harding (Nov 2,1865-Aug 2, 1923) and first lady Florence K, Harding.  The memorial is built of white marble, is 103 feet in diameter and 53 feet tall.

That's lady friend Sue in the red top approaching the steps to the outdoor sarcophagus.

The memorial also is important in American history because it is the last of the elaborate presidential tombs, a trend that began with the burial of President Abraham Lincoln in his tomb in Springfield, IL.  Since President Calvin Coolidge, Harding's successor, presidents have chosen burial plot designs that are simpler, or combined with their library sites.

Thursday, Fogeyisms will take a peek at a 5,200 pound, black granite globe that rotates slowly on its monument in a cemetery just north of the Harding tomb and Saturday we will bring you the story of Marion's delightful Popcorn Museum.

We hope you will tune in.
