We attended the tree dedication ceremony for our late friend, Zev Cywan. The tree and plaque rest next to the "mountain viewing wall" on the west side of Riverfront Park.
Mike Zinkin led the dedication ceremony. Mike observed that he, Zev's spouse, Marilyn, and Matt Moustafis were very careful to select a tree that was indicative of Zev himself. This particular tree was selected because it blooms in the spring, which is very much indicative of Zev's creative spirit; his artistic "bend." This tree also has thorns. As you know, Zev was always chiding us all to be better. And, yes, he could be a thorn in our side!
We also feel it very appropriate to than the Town of Oro Valley for making this happen. Certainly, this is an instance of excellence.
A fitting tribute to our friend.
