Arrived there in 1977, walked by it on my way to classes at the Lunar & Planetary Lab, as well as briefly worked there. Next door I still fondly remember listening to and meeting a very nice Clyde Tombaugh, as well as seeing Halley's comet at the Flandrau Planetarium. I thought I remembered that the tree had some infestation problems once, but obviously pulled through. | |
