Mr. Tom Thake, US Forestry, spoke to us all about the importance of trees and forests. Dr. Dave Williams, NASA Scientist, spoke to us of the search for all of the Moon Trees. Lt. Col. Christopher Roosa, son of Astronaut Stuart Roosa (who took the tree seeds up with him on Apollo 14), spoke to us about his father's love of trees and forests and his purpose for the Moon Tree project. He also read a letter to us written by his brother, Lt. Col. Jack Roosa, which told us of his good wishes for our tree and our ceremony. Then we dedicated the new sign to the tree. It was a beautiful ceremony. We wish to thank everyone who helped to make this day so special! LONG LIVE OUR BEAUTIFUL MOON TREE!
