The Poplar Trees and Mole

What a gorgeous woman!  Poplar trees lined the long driveway.  Poplars are a short-lived tree and do not last for more than 25 years.    I remember hearing the story of Digby purchasing them for 25 cents/tree at Gimbles Department Store in downtown Pittsburgh.  One weekend I returned home from Pitt to find they were gone.  I cried like a baby.  I can still hear the rustling sound of their leaves in the wind.  Note date -- 1948.  Jan and I were born in 1940.
