Thank you for your remembrance of the planting of this tree. Your photo has made it possible for me to find the tree when I next visit the Capitol grounds. A tiny tree carrying a giant sentiment.
I am so happy to hear about this tree being planted at the Capitol. Thanks for letting us know with such a beautiful story. I hope to go down to the city to show my son and his friends. They are reading this in school this year. So much more meaning now!
Thank you for letting us know that this very important tree has been planted on the lawn of our Capitol. I will bring my son and friends to see it. They are reading it this year in school and it will have so much more meaning since we read your wonderful story!
Just this morning I learned about the Ann Frank chestnut tree planted in Washington, DC. I so wish I had known about it when I was last in DC. I'm looking forward to visiting our Capitol again and seeing the tree will be at the top of my list. So special that it is living near the one planted by Olmstead.
