When I was a wee lad...1967 or so we moved into a new ranch home in Michigan...Part of the landscaping had use three boys each plant a maple tree in the front yard...they were were sticks when planted. About 10 years ago in a visit back east I did a driveby to look and the old homestead...I pleased to see that they have grown into some fine looking trees. Now that my daughters are old enough to retain some memories We may be due for another pilgrimage.
