My older brother in his Halloween costume, about 1971.
My mother, who’s lived in Phx since 1973, says she misses seeing these trees and thinks about them in the fall every year.

Since we returned to the Midwest from Arizona in 1993, I’ve been interested in trees, where they grow, how tall they can get, how old they may become. Imagine what our country must have looked like in 1500, before Europeans began to chop down old growth trees. I dream of visiting Redwood National Park.
