Ryan's Tree for the Modesto Library

Geez, it took me forever and a day to complete this quarter’s newsletter. What’s up with that? And the PDF I created is 4MB 523kb which is huge. Nevertheless, I submit it here for your reading pleasure.

One cool project I wanted to highlight is Ryan’s Tree, the steel art tree in the Children’s Dept. in memory of Ryan Dickerson, son of former Modesto Bee publisher Lynn Dickerson and Ron Dickerson. Ryan drowned in an accident while working at camp,. In trying to make sense of their loss, the Dickerson family is busy doing good works for the community–setting up scholarship funds and now the amazing tree. I hope you consider supporting it.
