One of my college friends was in town for her maternal grandmother's funeral, which was held at SkyRose Chapel at Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuaries in Whittier. I've never been inside the chapel, though my
ba noi (Vietnamese paternal grandmother) and oldest uncle, as well as countless others from my hometown are buried here.
Does it look familiar? Will you think I'm a complete nerd when I tell you that I recognized it as the filming location for the scene in "
Star Trek" where Spock informed the Vulcan Science Academy that he was going to attend Starfleet Academy instead?
