http://tinyurl.com/yxu7n7 Mastering a Branch of History Amateur Photographer Has Focused On Decades of the National Christmas Tree By Timothy Dwyer Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, December 21, 2006; Page A01 Each year since 1963, Aldon D. Nielsen, 84, has taken pictures of the National Christmas Tree. He's trudged out there in the snow and sleet and rain, on frigid nights and perfectly clear star-kissed nights. He has photographed fat trees, skinny trees and one tree that had to be surgically repaired because the train carrying it to Washington derailed. ...more at http://tinyurl.com/yxu7n7 Cheers, Alan -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |

I grew up in Wooster, Ohio. The cemetery south of town is were Fred Imgard is buried. He brought the Christmas tree tradition with him when he immigrated to the U.S.. In 1847, he erected the first Christmas tree in North America. When I was living in Wooster, there was always a Christmas tree placed near his grave as a remembrance of what he began. I assume that tradition carries on today but I can't be sure because I've been away from Wooster for a long time now. |

You pull that crap today and you're likely to be beaten and hauled away as a potential terrorist threat. |
