Tree Carving

This is a tree on the farm where my Dad grew up in Thompkinsville, Kentucky.

When we were visiting there once, Dad carved our names in a tree.

This slide was taken in 1979.

I wonder what this tree looks like now?

There is something else written on the tree but I can't make it out.

Wow it has been 30 years since this slide was taken!
Where does the time go?
