With just a few exceptions, that includes nearly every person I have ever worked with, a big chunk of my extended family, most of my friends going all the way backto elementary school and probably all the kids who were in my nursery at the hospital where I was born.
Just a couple of weeks ago, as impacted families were still seeking some sense of getting backto normal, one local nursery donated the tree, another chipped in for the lights and a star, and 70-year-old Tom Killeen and his longtime buddies from the area planted it at the end of the street, overlooking the town beach.
