Solander's Radio Tomb

A humorous tale in which a radio enthusiast and cemetery trustee encounters a wealthy, pious man who instructs him to draft a will clause establishing a perpetually maintained granite tomb fitted with a loud‑speaking radio to broadcast his handwritten collection of hymns and sermons; the narrator navigates the client's eccentric endowment, the trustees' dealings, and the practical and social complications of installing a fixed‑wavelength speaker in the cemetery. The story satirizes contemporary radio mania, burial solemnity, and the unforeseen logistics and moral posturing that arise when technology, philanthropy, and vanity intersect.
