I received the following message from one of Local 7's finest -- Joe Gibbons...

Hello Jay:

On a recent trip to Aruba, I came across this tree at the Tamarijn Resort. This is a Divi Divi tree, the national tree of Aruba. It is bent at a right angle due to the constant trade winds.

The tree in front of the resort is made out of 1/4 inch reinforcing rods. They are bent and shaped to replicate the national tree. You might want to suggest to Chuck Neulist and the new apprentices to get into the ornamental/reinforcing steel tree designing business! Who knows, could be something big for Local 7!

/s/ Joe Gibbons
