Growing up, I was grateful that my mother read to us “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein; it is still one of my favorites. When I moved to Pennsylvania, I was thrilled that there were so many Elm trees. I had always imagined the tree in Mr Silverstein’s book to be an Elm, so naturally I was fond of them. Now that the trees are disappearing, please remember the people that love us give so much for us to be happy and want nothing  in return…much like the majestic Elms of Penn State.
