S6 Ep13: The Grave Trippers

 

As children, brothers Robert and Vincent Gardino began to take an interest in historical people when their dad started bringing home autographs of famous patrons at the New York City restaurant where he worked as a waiter.

The two boys then took it upon themselves to expand their collection of autographs by using resources at the public library to obtain addresses of other notable people such as politicians, celebrities and sports figures. They wrote to these people and to their surprise, many responded and their collection grew.

This early interest in collecting autographs prompted the Gardino brothers as adults to connect with historical figures by searching for their final resting places, so they could pay their respects and connect with history.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Robert and Vincent Gardino about their recently released book, “Grave Trippers, History at our Feet” which documents the stories of noted historical personalities, along with some fun facts and specific directions to their final resting places so that others can be “grave trippers” too!
