The Town of Fircrest completed a five-year program to beautify winding Regents Boulevard in May of 1949 by planting a flowering Kwanzan cherry tree near the fire hall at 302 Regents Blvd. This brought the total number of trees planted through the work of Mayor Nelson J. Morrison and members of the Fircrest, Greenwood and Flowercrest Garden Clubs to over 150. The trees were planted by Fircrest employees. Among the large group of townspeople attending the planting ceremony were: (l to r) Sallie E. (Mrs. Theodore) Specht, Oscar Lundberg, Ed Moore, Mrs. Merle Hagman, Mayor Nelson J. Morrison, Mary F. (Mrs. George F.) Harrison and her daughter Mary Ileen, and George Masko, kneeling. (TNT, 5/29/1949, p.c-9)
