105 year old Man
Bob Mower who taught the introductory course to woody plants in the
(then) Dept of Horticulture at CU took his class on field trips in
the spring, stopping at Hamilton's first, here next. Always when
they arrived here, half the class was dazzled; the other half,
dazed. That glazed-over look of bewilderment was a wonder to
behold. The commentary, better still. My all-time favorite came
from the young man who pulled me aside to ask: Is Dr. Hamilton
really 105 years old?
