That yew tree sounds really venerable, LtS!

I forgot to mention that Connecticut has an old oak tree in the capitol of Hartford. They call it the Charter Oak, because they hid the state charter in it at one point during the Revolutionary War, if I remember it correctly. It is a beautiful old tree and they take great care of it. I am pretty sure it is featured on the new quarter cent peices which are being issue, one design for each state. Now, of course, everything around there, shopping malls, etc. are named "Charter Oak" this and that.

Woodman spare that tree!
