Northfield, Vermont

The Last Shall Be First, and The First Last:  Zedick is apparently a Hebrew name, but it is hard to ignore the fact that all Anglophones (except Americans) use "zed" to refer to the letter Z. In the Bible, Adoni-zedeck is is a pre-Israelite king of Jerusalem. In Hebrew, his name means 'righteous lord.' If we lettered days instead of numbering them, January 24 would be January X since X is the 24th letter of the alphabet. Mount Hope Cemetery. [2018]
