The death date is close, but the birth date is way off.  :)

I saw that and wondered if the man had a family, and if they heard about the movie.

If they haven't heard about the movie I am afraid they are right there along side of Jack B Twist.  ;D ;D

Tell you what...truth is, sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it...

They probably added the B. middle initial in the headstone after the movie was released -- they wanted no confusion (assuming our Jack did not have a B. middle initial...)  :)

I put in a request for someone to go take a picture of the stone, and got an email today that it was done.  Check it out:

No, Jack's middle initial was "F"...remember?  Jack F*****g Twist" lol.  I just loved whenever Ennis said that...especially at the reunion.   ;D
This is the forest primeval.  The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight...but where are the hearts that beneath it leaped...
