Fred Baur, Buried in a Pringles Can

Low-key grave in the Masonic Gardens of Arlington Cemetery conceals an interesting secret: the ashes interred there are in a Pringles can. Dr. Baur developed the can and the system of stacking the Pringles potato chips; he was so proud of his creation, he requested that his remains be buried in it. The grave is in the Masonic Gardens (look for the four giant chairs facing one another), and is fairly close to the road. It will be on the corner closest to the white administration building.

To our great disappointment, cemetery decoration rules seem to curtail any effort to mark the spot with a giant bronze Pringles can.
