Gossips has twice reported about the ceremonial white pine that was planted on Promenade Hill in October and was recently discovered uprooted and tossed over the fence.
Today, I received this communication from Lloyd Koedding, former mayoral candidate and ubiquitous attendee of public meetings and events, announcing that he has rescued the tree and is caring for it in an unknown location.
I think it would be good to replant the tree as soon as possible. A sapling that small can probably only survive a few days out of the ground. Does anyone know how and where Mr. Koedding is keeping the tree, or how to reach him?
ReplyDeleteRoam the streets, go to the library, attend any city meeting - you will find him. He exists in a super-position of all places and times.

ReplyDeleteAs a lifelong resident of Claverack and now a transplant to WV, I do indeed miss strolling to Promenade Hill.
