The Deacon's Bench
With some time to kill this weekend, my wife and I decided to pay a nostalgic visit to St. Mary’s in Rockville, Maryland, the chapel where we were married 25 years ago. Afterward, we dropped by the graveyard next door to pay our respects to its most famous residents, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
This is what we found:
Someone had thoughtfully left behind a well-thumbed copy of “Tender is the Night,” an open bottle of wine, and a partially filled glass.
Cheers, old sport. And Happy Thanksgiving.
