Dear Steve,

>>
I had the great fortune to "wander" off I-10 in Covington, LA last week on my way back to Kentucky from New Orleans. I stopped at the local library and inquired as to where Walker Percy was buried. It was quite an "adventure" but we located St. Joseph's Abbey and then finally located Percy's simple and unadorned grave with some help from one of the brothers.
>>
I would be glad to give directions to anyone else who might want to undertake such an adventure. <<

Sounds like a real pilgrimage. I think the information on how to find the abbey and Percy's grave would be well worth putting on the Percy List.
