Gateman, Goodberry, and Graves Gateman, Goodberry, and Graves is a funeral

home in Mockingbird Heights and occasionally, the company car which is a

hearse naturally can be seen picking up employees for work. One employee, in

particular, likes to climb into the car via the back door and ride to work as if

he's a body being delivered to the funeral home. This fellow's co-workers

sometimes remark on his heightened strengths but otherwise never seem to find

his appearance and green color out of the ordinary and this was way back in the

day before diversity, equity, and inclusion hit. This employee started at the

funeral home as a box boy building coffins in 1953 at the very young age of

138 years old. His name is Herman Munster and he was created in 1815 at the

University of Heidelberg by Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Leaving Germany for

great Britain at a young age, Herman was adopted by the Munsters of Munster Hall,

a noble family living in Shroudshire, England. At some point along the way,

Herman moved to Transylvania where he met Lily Dracula. In 1865, Herman married

Lily and eventually, the couple, along with Lily's father, a much older count

Dracula that everyone just called Grandpa moved to America, where Herman joined

the United States Army fighting in World War II. The Munsters lived at 1313

Mockingbird Lane with their cousin Marilyn and their werewolf-like son Eddie.

They had a family pet named Spot and he was a fire-breathing dragon that lived

under the stairs. The Munsters television program was a huge hit with

viewers when it first aired in 1964 on CBS. The program ran all the way

until 1966 when it was canceled because of poor ratings.
