Thank you, Mohmers, for your vote of confidence in the choices made
here-to-date and the choices made in the coming weeks. As one who was
there at the beginning I can assure you that the long-term best
interests of the group is a topic of daily coversation here.

Did you know that if you planted a Copper Beech tree today that you
would never live long enough to see its mature growth? But, you could
get it started with a good site, nutrients, a little pruning, and lots
of initial watering. We are trying to take the long view while dealing
with some immediate problems.

Again, thanks,
Susan Davis
