    Editor, The Sun:

    On Saturday, Oct. 7th, the Wakulla County Historical Society in partnership with the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) will be holding the first ever Cemetery Resource Protection Training - Plus (CRPT+).
    This full-day workshop, led by FPAN archaeologist Nigel Rudolph, will start in the Richardson Cemetery at 9 a.m. with some demonstrations of headstone repair techniques. We will then break for lunch and reconvene at the Old Jail Museum & Archives to discuss headstone repair in more detail from 1 to 4 p.m.
    Richardson Cemetery is located at the northeast corner of Hwy. 98 and Spring Creek Hwy. The workshop will meet there from 9 a.m. to noon.
    After a one hour break for lunch the workshop will reconvene at the Old Jail Museum & Archives, 24 High Drive, behind the courthouse.
