Summer is the time for repairs and replacements on campus. I’m afraid nothing can really replace this graceful tree, but for the sake of safety, it has to be removed. Its beauty and shade will be missed.
For the safety of the children and adults alike it's better to say good bye. I don't like when trees are removed and fought for it once when our house was built. Hans gave in but I never lived it down as he was right and it had to go a few years later when his roots showed up underneath the building on the other side.
