220 YEAR OLD OAK JFK'S GRAVE TOPPLED, BY IRENE

below the sketch;

The architect of the Kennedy gravesite, John Warnecke, incorporated the tree, known as the "Arlington Oak" into the design. An elaborate aeration, drainage, and soil improvement plan was developed and constructed to protect the Arlington Oak from the shock of construction

hi Albert; yes, perhaps letting light in on the records...one never knows...Worship..what a wonderful old tree, it is a shame when we loose them, we have lost too many over time deliberately,hopefully another will be replanted, but it will take another 220 years to get to the magnificance that was...thinking about it, i wonder if Dallas sent anyone, so that chips and pieces can be sold at the TSBD:angeldevil:well one never knows what is next.....take care..bDance
