Seasons Greetings,
I just got off the phone with Ed, and he shared with me the results of his visit to Start HS from earlier this morning. Apparently, according to Ed, after visiting the school court yard he is happy to share that reports of the early demise of our “Spirit Tree” and structural harm to our “Statue,” are indeed overstated.
From what Ed has told me, our “Spirit Tree,” is still alive and growing, but not thriving as well as one would like to see. As for our “Statue,” after a close inspection, Ed was happy to report that he could not find any structural damage of any kind.
With regards to the plaque, those of you that visited the statue on our 50th anniversary, may recall that the plaque that had been affixed to the supportive structure, under the statue, had been knocked off and that there was a gash in the middle of the plaque. Ed reports that the plaque is now affixed to the supportive structure directly above the statue (but unfortunately the gash in the middle of the plaque is still there).
Ed included some pictures that he took, but I have not been able to successfully download them to the forum page, but I will try again at a later date. Right now I have to hurry off to take care of some other things. But that said, Best wishes for a Blessed Holiday Season to one and all.
