Prankish Birthday Trees Mark Bruce Taylor's Big Four-Oh
Bruce Taylor, a Marion science teacher, celebrates his 40th with a forest of about 44 used Christmas trees arranged on his lawn at 2805 Northview Drive after prior attempts by friends. Neighbor photographers captured the scene as the prank continued to backfire with Bruce joking about the mischief at a New Year’s Eve party. Central Park Presbyterian Church hosts a 102nd anniversary service on January 16 featuring a historical strongbox dedication kept in the church library at 17th Street and B Avenue NE.
