One of Central High School's English teachers loved the poem, "I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree."

The tree has held swings for my grandchildren and its' leaves have provided fun for them since they were toddlers. Its splendid autumn leaves are so awesome. I've been enjoying the tree's beauty since 1984!
