I took him into Glenwood Cemetery and went up to a grave.

It said "Howard Robard Hughes, Jr." 1905-1976 and I said "Sic transit gloria mundi".

Howard Hughes was once the richest man in the world, in the 1970s.

"Sic transit gloria mundi" is Latin for "Thus passes the glory of the world."

Now it has a fence around it and a locked gate.
