The mystery of the Christmas Tree on I-17 -
The tradition
startedseveral years ago by a woman who just wanted to do something nice
for everyone to enjoy during their travels. The motivation is exactly
that simple! Over the years, there have been many articles written and
questions asked concerning the motivation behind the project. Reporters
have attempted to get coverage and photograph the "elves" who decorate
the tree each year. There has been much speculation, "It's a group of
retired military people", "It's someone doing it as a memorial", etc.,
etc. Honestly, it's just a nice gesture and the person behind it prefers
to have no recognition whatsoever and really does NOT want to be in the
spotlight at all. So PLEASE, everyone, just enjoy the tree and remember
the season for what it really is!
