Wilfred and Vada Igo rescued a ballpark pine in 1981 after it lay torn and over a bank in Beckley. The pine thrived in their Charleston yard, reaching over 25 feet. State workers will cut and transport it to the Capitol Complex for Christmas decor, with proceeds benefiting Capital High School special education.
