Recent article states The Leather Man will be exhumed and moved from his resting spot.
This story is related to Eddie Vedder's enthusiasm about him,, I would be surprised if he doesn't know about this what's about to take place:
"Citing safety concerns, the society has filed a petition for permission to dig up and relocate the famed hobo’s body. “We’re responsible if someone’s hurt there,” says MacDonald.
The Ossining Historical Society would also like to find a “more dignified” spot for Sparta Cemetery’s most famous occupant and has gathered a nine-person team, to be led by Connecticut State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni, to move and examine the body.
And, as long as the remains are being exhumed, MacDonald says the team would do a few genetic tests on the Leatherman’s remains.
That last idea has Don Johnson, a history teacher for North Haven Public Schools, outraged. Johnson, who has been fascinated by the Leatherman for the last decade or so, started leavetheleathermanalone.com to protest the genetic testing. He says he’s out to protect the Leatherman’s privacy."

have to change the lyric to "...who I am not related."
"With our thoughts we make the world"
I've emailed all the info on this through 'activism' about a month ago, but haven't heard anything back from anyone.
