True obedience is true freedom.
Henry Ward Beecher
To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them the whole leaf and root tribe. Not alone when they are in their glory, but in whatever state they are in leaf, or rimed with frost, or powdered with snow, or crystal-sheathed in ice, or in severe outline stripped and bare against a November sky we love them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Let's go to those communities where they have the least ability to pay for that retrofit and make sure they get that help, make sure they get that support.
