The massive elm tree that shaded the corner of East Main Street and Yankee Drive.

The only thing that beast shaded was Nova Scotia.

The elm has tremendously strong wood. If the tree is properly logged out and the wood/lumber used for a significant purpose, then it can still remain a significant memorial to the city.

Otherwise they can fight over who gets the firewood.

I'm pretty sure he knows his days are numbered.

Knight's wife died of cancer 15 years ago. It will be interesting to see how he holds out. His has been quite a remarkable hobby.
