FOCUS: Remembering the lighting of downtown Rich’s Great Tree

By Marlene R. Buchanan  |  Time was when the lighting of the Great Tree at Rich’s in Atlanta was the beginning of all things holiday. Most everyone went downtown or watched the annual phenomena on television. Time magazine featured it on the cover of December, 1961. It was always an impressive event.

BRACK: The red daylily, John Wesley, Marlene Buchanan and Wendy’s 

By Elliott Brack  |  The return of an old friend: Last year, this daylily output was a feature photo in this publication, and now the plant has blossomed for another year. It’s located just outside our kitchen window. Its compatriots, the orange type, develop earlier each year, and we await the red daylily’s bloom with anticipation. We found this about old friends: “Say what you want about aging, it’s still the only way to have old friends.”
