capacity, experiencing significant conflicts between tourists, cemetery users
and vehicles.
Product: Barry provided the text, photos and supporting
diagrams for the Master Plan Report. As the project was approaching its
conclusion, the Army Signal Corps had him write and direct a film describing the
