Half-century of planting Christmas trees

You might call Santa Ron Bowerman the Johnny Appleseed of Christmas trees. He and his wife, Jane, live at 625 E. College Ave. and they've planted live Christmas trees in their home yards for 50 years. Now the trees grow on lawns of their children and grandchildren. Ron said that the tree planted in this photo is his third in Bluffton. (Dennis Morrison photo)
