What a terrible shame. On a similar note, sort of, here in New Jersey, in the mid 1970s a landmark 100-year-old church and 2 or 3 houses burned down from kids playing with matches. This was about 20 miles from here. Barry

To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, July 12, 2009, 3:39 PM Hi ENTS, I'll be traveling through southwestern Ohio in a week or so and would love to see some giant sycamores if anyone could steer me in the right direction. I'll be near Gallipolis, OH which is across the river from Point Pleasant, WV. In related news, in my internet research on big sycamores of that area I saw that the WV champion sycamore at "Sycamore Park" in Webster Springs fell victim to a 17 year old arsonist this past April! Check out the story here: http://www.dailymail.com/News/200904270485?page=1&build=cache He was also charged with possession and underage drinking! That tree was 500 years old...
