We remember Peter Espenschied

A tree was recently planted in memory of Peter Espenshied. Funding for this chokecherry, a tree native to this area, was generously donated by his sister, Joan Lane and her husband, Thomas.

Peter lived in Cleveland Park for many years. He was active in the community and participated in the early days of Rosedale, and served on the board from 2002-2008.
