What you can make out is “RIP.” The rest of the letters might have once said “Big Al,” but you can’t be sure. Green-Wood is huge, and security can’t reach everywhere, but this defacement of a tree stands out. I want to go back in time, slap the knife from the hooligan’s hand and ask him, for we know it’s a him, “Does this really make you feel better?”
