In the news this Month. I finally received a copy of my AARP magazine and right there on page 66 there is our friend from Oregon Rusel DeMaria celebrating his 59-year-B-day 110 feet up in a Treeboat hamock in a Ponderosa tree near Grant Pass Oregon. I met Rusel in Oregon during the 2005 Rendezvous together with Viola from New Tribe and the rest of their magnificent gear making crew.
Congratulations to Rusel on his B-Day.

Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
Who stands in his pride alone!
And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
When a hundred years are gone!
--Henry Fothergill Chorley, "The Brave Old Oak"
