    3. I sent this to Eleanor Helper, because she was looking for the surname MORRIS! Below is info about the beautiful Morris Arboretum http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/arboretum/aboutthearboretum2.html The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania began in 1887 as "Compton," the summer home of John and Lydia Morris, brother and sister. The I.P. Morris Company, an iron-manufacturing firm founded by their father and later run by John Morris, was a source of family wealth. http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/arboretum/ [This is near Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, PA Chestnut Hill is "old money"! And IT is beautiful. My husband was a food scientist at nearby USDA-ERRC, Wynmoor, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania -- for many years. We lived in Laverock, Springfield Twp, MontCo, PA -- Laverock (Valley of the Lark) sounds Welsh, does it not? Violet Moore Guy 05/28/2006
