From their research, Whitin Badger and Dwight Cooke had long exciting lives together.
Whitin was an author and Dwight a journalist. They traveled the world together and lived in Santa Barbara until their deaths. They were buried together because Badger’s family had a plot in Princeton.

The line of poetry caught me first, followed by the realization it was two men buried together who had died in the same year.
I went back to my hotel room, did some light googling, and found out that Whitin Badger had written a book of poetry called Unicorn, which I thought was pretty neat.
