ED'S REMARKABLE BIRTHDAY
and How A Great Tree Got Its Name
By Viola Brumbaugh July 4, 2005

Adventurous Ed and two of his daughters spent a special afternoon celebrating Ed’s 86th birthday up in our Black Walnut tree at Tree Climbing Northwest’s climbing site in Cave Junction, Oregon.
It was a gorgeous warm afternoon and the family arrived at the tree excited to have a chance to see Ed climb. His daughters ClarySage and Kirsten were there for support and cheer with cameras ready. With several Treeboats in place, and seeing how easy it was for Ed to ascend, the girls gave it a try. Soon they all found themselves aloft laughing and relaxing in Treeboats. Tim Kovar’s ingenuity and help, with assistance from Viola, made it possible for them all to enjoy the climb in comfort and ease.
The great tree “Ed” is now named in honor of this fun and memorable afternoon.
