Deborah

A few months ago, a genealogist friend of the family was doing some digging and turned up something surprising, something that Deborah never knew.

Jerry's body wasn't in the English Channel, nor was it buried somewhere in Europe.

Jerry's body had actually been repatriated back to America and interred in a Jewish cemetery called Mount Lebanon.

And it turns out the cemetery is not an hour's drive from Deborah's apartment.

To move on from Jerryland, maybe Debra needs more than just to revisit the past or honor the past.

Maybe she needs to grieve it.

Leaving the house at 102 is not so easily done, and Debra has yet to visit Jerry's grave.

I ask if it might be something we can do together.

Anything that brings me closer to him, I'm game.

After the break, Jerry.

Just as I'm about to book a minivan for our visit to the cemetery, I receive an invitation to a video conference.

Hello?

Debra's Emmy Award-winning son-in-law, Joe Berlinger, also wants to come to the cemetery to film for his own project about Debra.

Yeah.

I mean, right back at you.

We, you know, we love what you do, so...

We?

Have I a pet hamster in my fanny pack?

Allow me to explain my lack of enthusiasm about Joe's participation.

The world of documentary is a hierarchy that breaks down thusly.
