Dear Ann Landers,
see by the wire services that a morti-cian in Georgia has gone in for drive-in display windows for those who want to view a deceased friend or relative but are too busy to park their cars and come inside. The mortician is constructing five windows six feet long-just the right size for an open coffin. The display will face a driveway at the side of the funeral home which is located on a busy street. The de-ceased will be lying in a lighted window, slightly tilted to make viewing easier. The mortician who dreamed up the idea says people seem to like it. According to him, folks are in a hurry these days and the drive-in display means they can come any hour of the day or night and they don't have to get dressed in their good clothes.-Concerned

Dear Concerned,
The Russians have beat us again. Lenin has been on display under glass for years. "Have you seen the cold-cut yet?" is a question asked of American tourists who visit Moscow. In Russia, however, you must stand in line, sometimes for several hours. Digger O'Dell from Dixie seems to have come up with the ultimate in convenience. Or as they say in Georgia-"Man, that's really livin'."

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
