more incompetence at Arlington

Pretty pathetic, and pretty typical, unfortunately. I remember going to their office about six or seven years ago to locate the plot of an old family friend. It couldn't be found by name - locations could only be looked up based on the date of burial!!! I could remember the month, but not the exact date, nor the exact year, (I could narrow it down to a three year period); and so it took awhile for the clerk to locate it. They seemed a little exasperated with me for not knowing the date of my friend's burial, while I considered their classification system to be both primitive and stupid.
