Two pictures of the same bench at the Tamarind Grove postal station.
That NEVER "creeped me out". The idea of any memorial is to have future people remember a person or HISTORICAL incident. Since a lot of people pass through getting their mail it would appear to be a GREAT place to remember someone's name and life.
.....If anyone was stupid enough to want to remember me, they could put a memorial sign at the Post Office, or in front of a bar, or near a tennis court or, up a tree for the squirrels to see. Just don't put my name ANYWHERE near a Golf (ugg) course!
