Readers of the Charlotte Observer found a gift in their Sunday paper.
"The Old White Oak of Matthews: The extraordinary rescue of an ordinary tree" by staff writer Elizabeth Leland is one of those stories you read and find yourself looking for someone to tell about it. (free registration may be required)
Actually, you look for someone you can read it to: a spouse, a sibling, a child.
Leland and features editor Michael Weinstein consulted me about the story, so I know that the late Shel Silverstein's classic children's story, "The Giving Tree," was an inspiration.
But "The Old White Oak of Matthews" also accomplishes a remarkable accomplishment. It uses the journalist's skills of reporting, focusing, organizing, drafting and revision, to tell an enchanting, true story with the grace and style of a literary classic.
The print version features illustrations by Jason Whitley, while an online package complements the story with a vivid photo gallery featuring the work of John D. Simmons and Jason E. Miczek and reporter Leland's interview with a pivotal character.
