Her desire to learn more inspired her to track them down and write a book. That book is People of Memorial Park ! Since the book's debut at the top of Amazon's Hot New Releases, Stacy has continued her efforts to meet new individuals in a weekly blog at PeopleOfMemorialPark.com. This is a two part conversation.
