I love reading the inflight magazines. You know, the ones found in the pouch in front of your seat when flying somewhere. They are the magazines that usually have stories of CEOs and such. Sometimes, they can be a bit boring and a last-resort reading.
I came across an interesting story, however, about a tree Anne Frank wrote about in her diary. Recently, the horse-chestnut tree saw its demise after a storm. The article talked about how this new owner, Henric Pomes, purchased the Amsterdam home not knowing that the horse-chestnut tree was that written by Anne Frank. The article further stated that Pomes had since taken an active role in preserving the tree.
Unfortunately, the tree died this past summer (August 2010); however, it was reported that a sprout was soon growing out of the stump.
