Back in the late seventies. I was in the architectural school.
There was a news story on earlier this week about some nut poisoning the oak trees on the Auburn campus. Strangely enough, I remember those oaks; they were near where the School of Architecture was back then and I would sit under them and read.
Yeah, that's a horrible, horrible thing. I feel awful for the Auburn family -- those trees are likely irreplaceable. I tried to explain it to an Alabama grad this way: imagine if someone blew up Denny Chimes at UA. Same concept, except the trees are living things.
