| 1987 Tree (Photo by James G. Howes) |
There is a
street dubbed “Rockefeller Row” in this
“hardscrabble city” 50 miles upriver from Manhattan. Within the same block, four houses contain “wood
from three of the Rockefeller trees.”
One such tree
can yield about 100 boards, sturdy lumber that
is used for framing and flooring. Each board has
been “stamped with an image of the tree and the year
it was on display.”
How nice to
continue the cycle of life in this manner. We owe these
“Giving Trees” at least that much.
