Rumble At Fairview Cemetery

Wednesday morning as Tyler Fatzinger and I met WFMZ deep inside Fairview Cemetery, the cemetery operator came racing up to inform us that we were all trespassing and needed to leave. I credit the reporter, Kalista Mitrisin, with persuading the operator, David Boyko, with allowing the WFMZ segment to be filmed. 

While Tyler may have been influenced by early posts on this blog about Fairview, his Facebook group, Revive Fairview Cemetery Allentown, attracted the reporter and current interest.

Boyko describes himself as a savior of the cemetery, battling distractors like Fatzinger. In reality, without the early efforts of myself and the current attention by Fatzinger, the cemetery would be much more neglected. While Boyko claims that he welcomes volunteers, in reality he has been an obstacle to such efforts. The location of current burials is an issue beyond my pay grade, but warrants scrutiny by appropriate officials. Questions and comments can also be placed at the Revive Fairview page.
