The article on trees was a walk down memory lane. As I am unable to travel from my home in California the tour of the foliage must be passed to our son, ’03, and family. They will walk with the 75th Old Guard honoring my class and me, continuing the Neely family legacy back to 1884.

Five years ago, 2018 we did “go back,” for my 70th, son Robert’s 15th, and a grand-niece, Isabel Neely Hetherington graduating 2018! We took pictures under the dogwood trees and treasure those memories. 

Gratitude to all the caretakers of the magnificent trees.
