Rockefeller Center Tree

I almost forgot! My mom got an article in the mail from her brother in New Jersey. It's about the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center this year. It just happens to be from the yard of a dear family friend! I remember visiting the Varanyak family many years ago. Mary was practically family all of my mother's life and was a very interesting lady. VERY interesting! We loved hearing about her outdoor plumbing and the stump she had out back for slaughtering chickens. Her twin sons allowed the tree to be cut down for Rockefeller Center because Mary had always said the tree would end up in New York City. It started it's life with the Varanyak's as a potted Christmas tree and Mary planted it in the yard over 70 years ago. The twins are 74 and I believe the tree is 80. Mary died about 10 years ago but one of her sons says there has a been a bluebird hanging around and landing on top of the tree for some time now. He believes it's his mother and I think I believe him :)
