Vonnie Kolbenschlag: The Gingko tree at LWC

Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes:
The ginkgo tree Dr. Bosela identified on Lindsey's Campus is young having been planted not long ago by Taft Neal for the Columbia Woman's Club. When this club disbanded, money left in the treasury went to buy trees and supplies for the animal shelter. Members with the longest membership got to say what tree to plant and where to plant it. Wanda Hill suggested a ginkgo be planted at Lindsey, and thanks to Taft, this was done. Previously the club purchased trees in memory of members who died.

I would like to share this quote:

"The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit" Nelson Henderson

This quote comes from a 1982 book "Under Whose Shade" by Wesley Henderson. His father, Nelson Henderson, gave him the quoted advice. - Vonnie Kolbenschlag

This summer, celebrating my graduation from Vanderbilt, I visited six new countries. I hopped alongside kangaroos in Sydney, ate pasta in Rome, and stood before the remains of the Wall in Berlin. My experience was amazing, and I am honored to have been able to see so much beyond my own backyard. However, after logging over 50 hours in planes and 10 hours on trains, I was very excited to return home for some much needed R&B (Rest & Betty's Breakfast).
