Glen Rock Tree Trust suggests a gift that grows The Glen Rock Tree Trust urges residents to consider a gift that keeps growing by giving a tree on public land in the name of a loved one or family member. With a donation of $25 or more towards general tree plantings, a donor will receive a certificate to stuff a stocking, leave next to the menorah, or mail to a friend who has moved out of town. Participants who wish to pay for an entire tree may designate a preference for where the tree will be planted: on town property, at a specific school, or at the Glen Rock Arboretum. Brochures on the Glen Rock Tree Trust and how to make a donation are available at the borough library or borough hall. To receive an electronic version, e-mail GlenRockTreeTrust@gmail.com. Koster nominated Survivor,” tells the extensively documented story of Second Sergeant Frank Finkle, who escaped from the battle at the Little Big Horn, recovered from two gunshot wounds, and – while technically a deserter – was hailed as a Custer survivor in Washington State when he declared himself in 1920. Finkel, a prosperous farmer and land investor, lived until 1930. His story – known to experts, but not to the general public – has been extremely controversial, but Koster found documents in the National Archives, the Columbia County Courthouse in Dayton, Washington, and the Oshkosh Public Museum, where Finkel’s second wife maintained a fruitless 20-year struggle to obtain his pension. The records clearly show the elderly farmer was the same person as the sergeant in his 20s listed as killed at Custer’s Last Stand, but whose best friend could not find his body on the battlefield. Former Wyckoff Police Chief John Ydo and Ridgewood Deputy Mayor Keith Killion joined nationally-known experts in helping to authenticate some of the information.
