Tree surgeon Kenney aids aging McGuffey Elms at Ohio University
E L Kenney a sandy haired ex policeman turned tree surgeon has spent six weeks working on Ohio University's 110 year old McGuffey Elms. He explains aging, not Dutch Elm disease, weakens trees and describes brace work and artificial roots to reinforce trunks. He notes a tall ash at Chubb Library was felled due to base rot and cites Dutch Elm beetles as the disease source. Kenney recalls his rise from Dayton police to Athens tree service, son of Albany Road residents, and a 1929 Athens High School graduate.
