I asked A.I. about this photo, and we had a long, bizarre conversation about it. In the end, I learned nothing about this Foster plot. I did however learn about Ray Foster, buried in Oklahoma, who died at just 50 years old when he had a heart attack while eating potato chips he had just purchased. Ray Street, near the above photo, is what led A.I. to believe the Oklahoma Ray Foster is buried in both places.

Anywho, chatting with A.I. is like speaking with an occasionally brilliant child who has a quick, usually incorrect, but always confident, answer for everything.
