Thanks for the post! Your town sounds like a really nice place with a supportive community. I'm so sorry for the Fuccile family's loss. And thanks for the info about the field guide. I wasn't aware Arbor Day had a new one available. I was on my way to Barnes & Noble this morning anyway. I’ll have to go check out the new tree, Julie. Thanks for the post!

I remember when I used to take Bradley to that park when he was small enough for the baby swings, and I used to think, I wish there was a tree here to shade these swings. Nancy, if you're reading this, thank you for being so incredibly thoughtful. You are indeed an inspiration to all of us on how to remain strong in the face of tragedy. Justin, I do enjoy the challenge of studying the various characteristics of the tree through the seasons to see if I can pinpoint the species and cultivar. I'm such a tree nerd! :D That is the perfect location for a tall oak tree!

I am really glad you captured the tree at it's "new beginning". I can't wait to see it grow and be captured over the years. The location was selected by Nancy with the exact intent that you mentioned in your closing. We hope that it will grow big and tall to provide shade for the children and Mom's using the baby swings. I couldn't think of a more appropriate place for Mike's tree. Finally to answer the outstanding question, I was told it was indeed a Red Oak. I am not exactly sure which variety but could probably track that down. Seems though it would be a lot more fun to study acorns than be given the answer. Great pics Julie.
