Friday Add-on!

A Telephone Pole? A Flag Pole?

No - unfortunately it's all that remained (as of 10:00 this morning) of a giant Norway Spruce in the side yard of the Meszler residence on Sanger Avenue. The tree had appeared to be dying, late last Summer, and no amount of waiting - or watering - this Springtime was going to bring it back and so it Charlie Cresswell & Co. have seen to its removal. Also cut down, today, so that they could not damage or hurt anyone, were two smaller trees on the Southeast corner of the same property. It will look strange, without them, but I imagine that the Lews are delighted: they will no doubt be able to see nearly all the way to Sangerfield!

Meanwhile - on Putnam Street ..............

It's Alive!!!

A CORRECTION and an APOLOGY
to
Mr. and Mrs. Person

The Charles Brainard Memorial Oak, planted by the children of Putnam Street some twenty years ago, was NOT the one that was cut down, last week!

The Oak is still standing, as always, tall and erect. A couple of years ago it was trimmed (0r gouged) by the power company, and then last year, trimmed again, due to some deterioration and in need of shaping. But, the tree is still there, as always.

Mrs. Person explained, "What was removed was a Sunburst Locust that Leo (my deceased husband ) and I planted 15 yrs. ago. Although we had trimmed it yearly, it just outgrew it's shape, and grew up in the electric wires. We had no choice. It was replaced with a Canadian Cherry which grows only 30 feet tall and turns red in the summer. It should be an asset to Putnam Street."

I'm sure it shall!
