Altamont Seniors gather in Orsini Park on July 2 to dedicate a tree planted in their honor. “This past year was a rough one for the seniors; there were many sicknesses, many deaths,” said Cindy Pollard who came up with the idea of planting the tree. She frequently hosts the Altamont Seniors at her Home Front Café across the street from the park. “It’s for everybody … the seniors who have died, the seniors still living, the seniors yet to come. It says, ‘We honor you,’” said Pollard. “Now they know to come to this spot.”
