Update on the tree: Owners said in the paper that they were honored to donate the tree, and though sad to see it cut, after 50 years, were happy to share it with America. They received no money for the tree, but Rockefeller center will fix their front lawn,torn up by the process, and will put them up in a hotel for the lighting ceremony on December 3rd. I saw it today in New York City, or rather I saw a bit of it peeking out from the scaffolding and promotional sign hiding it as it is being prepared and decorated. I wonder if they are sticking in any fake limbs like dad always used to do on our great Christmas trees he engineerd in LeRoy?
