hmmm...feeling a little bummed...like a part of my life is gone. I just heard a new owner of my grandparent's house chopped down a pine tree that was planted back in the 1940's. My mother was only about 5 when they planted it. I grew up around that tree and last saw it in 2006(last time I was there). My grandfather passed away in 2009 and the house was sold.
It was about 80 feet tall and about 20 feet in diameter(the bottom branches). Shame to hear it's gone.
It will take me awhile to find a picture.
