May 25, 2008 Remembrance

Twin Austrian Pines: These greenling twins, when time for them has gained a fuller height and wider branching firth, will form an arch of welcome, needle-veined, beside the busy highroad: "Here is mirth," sweet winds will whisper as the needles sway. "Let youth and children gather here to play." And older folk will pause upon their way, to rest a while within the verdant shade which time and care and loyalty have made. Donor: Arthur Buhler of Stanfordville, NY, formerly residing New Hackensack. He helped construct the entrance steps to the park, and wished these little twin pines to grow into an entrance arch. Dedication was on November 2, 1952.
