Well done, Jim. Very interesting. Where will you go next year?
Jim, as our son we could not be more proud of this achievement. Just think the world will see your selection.
What a wonderful job to have. Sounds like you had a hard decision but had an adventure too. Looking forward to seeing our tree.
Jim - what a wonderful experience and fun thing to have to do in a job. You surely did a great job. Can you pick out my tree?
My son, Greg Moore, will be escorting the tree. I’m so proud and excited. We will celebrate with him at the tree lighting.
So excited for my cousin to escort the tree! Proud of you Greg! What a great opportunity!
It is very fascinating that could be such pressure to find the perfect tree for all to see. But with that said, I am sure you had a wonderful experience and now will have the bragging rights to be able to say that you picked the Capitol Christmas Tree!
How wonderful it was to stumble upon this today! Jim, my friend, it is a joy to see how well you are doing and how successful you have become. Congratulations for all of your achievements. My very best to you and your family!
What a wonderful job to do...finding a tree for the whole nation to enjoy! Christmas truly unites us all! Great job..I pray the tradition of Capitol tree continues!!
