But, please, please do not cut down a healthy OB or Point Loma tree just for this occasion.
Hi< All the trees we brought to OB were gotten because they had to be cut !! Some people wanted them cut because they were up rooting their plumbing, City sidewalk/ street, house foundation~~ Notify the Local Beacon & Beach & Bay Press (PB) and run a news brief and I’m sure some will come forward!! For all the years we chaired it, I want to personally Thank all the vendors involved, Hawthorne Cat Larry, Bob’s Crane, Hodad’s, Atlas Tree Service, NatureScape, and the City of SD, SDPD Motor Officers, and Volunteers. Thanks for being a Partner with Gerry B & I (Claudia Jack) and OBTC, it’s been a Great Venture!! PS: We have enough stories to write a book!!
I’d buy the book !
