I fell in love with trees and the care of trees early on, when I worked for my uncle, Albert Fischer, on the Kennedy estate up in Aquinnah. For about 10 years we worked all the orchard, all the shade trees — all the gardens, the lawns, the roads, the beach. Just the two of us on 400 acres. Quite an endeavor. That experience gave me a real appreciation for the outdoors and working the land.
