A Special Christmas Tree Permit

It is Thanksgiving weekend and for many it is a family outing into the forest in search of the “perfect” Christmas tree. Earlier this year, Calvin Farris shared with me this 1959 BLM Christmas tree permit. It was issued by his father to  my father. My father cut many Christmas trees over the years, but I never recalled him possessing permits. However, these Christmas trees were for the Sacred Heart Church, and his mother, Margaret was a faithful member.

Anyhow, as Calvin duly noted, back in the day, how special touches  were added to such documents, and this is a perfect example.
