Potter Home To Moon Tree

Coudersport Area Lions Club and Commissioner Heimel teamed up to bring recognition to the "Moon Tree" at Coudersport Area Recreation Park and the woman who assured its survival. Yes, it flew to the moon as a seedling and was planted at CARP in honor of Carol Groves Patterson, who nursed the struggling sycamore back to health. District Forester Bob Lewis (back row, fourth from right), who arranged for Potter County to receive the tree, returned to town to attend the ceremony. Carol (seated) was in declining health at the time. She died in July 2012.
