“This is a wonderful book about Tree’s passionate pursuit of hunting,
banking, wine, fishing, archeology, community service, and fun. Most of all, it is the story of Tree’s great love for his family, his friends and his God.”

“TREE is the quintessential story about what happens when you embrace life.  Embracing the foibles as well as the sublime is the work of our lives, and Tree explains how this works by laying out the obstacle course he ran with chutzpah and bravado, with grace and humility, with compassion and love. He answers the question of ‘What’s the meaning of life?’ by showing you how to live!  Need wisdom?  You will find all the wisdom you need in TREE.  You will live better after reading each chapter.  Your vision will be surprisingly sharper after seeing what life looks like through the lens of faith.”
     Michael Simone
    Senior Pastor, Spring Branch Community Church

Extras

My purpose in writing this book was to preserve, for my family and friends, some of the stories and experiences that have shaped my life. Some are goofy, crazy adventures, and some are more profound and serious ߝ like my relationship with the Lord. And my decades-long battle with cancer.
I do not want this to be considered a “cancer book,” though there is a section dedicated to the topic, which I hope will be helpful to anyone who finds it relevant.  But my illness has influenced this project in some ways, much as it has “influenced” just about everything else in my life! Primarily, the fact that the cancer moved into my brain “created more immediate deadlines,” so to speak. So I fast-tracked this project from the original post-retirement timeframe of about four years hence.
And here we are.
I hope you enjoy this memoir, and from the bottom of my heart I thank all of you who contributed to it, either directly ߝ by sharing your thoughts in these pages and on the website ߝ or “between the lines” by being part of my life. God bless you all.

Descriere

This is the moving memoir of an inspiring man: his accomplishments, passions and challenges. Told with simple honesty, Tree’s story takes the reader from his happy Norfolk upbringing through profound watersheds like the suicide of his father and the loss of his eye to cancer.
