tree project

Hi Hiroshi, It looks like I was a bit premature when I sent you the first picture from my camera phone. I have twins! There are two persimmon seedlings! And one chinaberry seedling popped up, also! I plan on making one persimmon tree trained as an espalier and the other is going to my friend's mother's home in California.

If I do give it away, I will make sure the Hibaku Tree Project is credited with your name attached. Gary 5/25/2008 Persimmons 5/25/2008 Chinaberry 5/14/2008 Persimmons

The show would be part of an emergency timetable of programs designed to "reassure" the public in the aftermath of the attack.

In Salzburg, Austria, before the outbreak of the Second World War, Maria wedded naval commander Georg Ritter von Trapp. Partly due to strong economic pressures from Germany, the family lost their fortune in 1935.
