I was trying to think of that saying as well -- thanks for posting it, Jeanie!
When I was growing up in lower Michigan, way back in the 1950s and 60s, there was a huge -- like 3 feet in diameter -- elm tree in our back yard. That tree was like an old friend to me and I grieved when it had to be removed because of Dutch Elm disease. Leon, thanks for sharing this article that has obviously touched many of us!
