Brothers Vincent and Robert Gardino share an avid love for history and celebrity. This alone is not unusual, but the manner in which the brothers express their passion is quite unique. Vincent and Robert take trips through cemeteries seeking out the headstones of long-forgotten celebrities and politicians. Their comical banter solicited encouragement by close friends to start a show. So, they did just that. The pair is now financing a television series that follows them as they visit gravesites and delve into the history of the deceased. PBS has offered to pick up the series once it is completed.
