    Visit to Juan Trippe's Grave

    I was touring Green Wood Cemetery here in Brooklyn last week. I found the grave of Juan Trippe, as well as his family buried there. Unfortunately, there are no markings that honor him as the founder of PanAm Airways. Every few minutes an aircraft heading for LaGuardia passes overhead; I find that ironic. His gravesite is on a hill and amusingly, I almost tripped to find Trippe.

    Where in Green Wood is Trippe buried??? My mom is buried there and I visit quite often--I'd be interested to check it out!
