adams house with john adams' great great granddaughter. stewartas always up for adventure and he and my mother savored every moment together. in him, she found a soul mate. according to mother, she'd felt that conservation was at the top of the agenda for the nation's health, joy, and abundant light of our citizens. but in the spirit of complete disclosure, i will have to tell you that stewart and mother did have obstacles to their environmental affairs. stewart was not mother's only partner. there were at least two cabinet members on your dance card. there came a time when both of them wanted their way. it became known by the national security council as the great cherry tree crisis. i only know about this from liz carpenter. this is the jist of it. the ambassador of japan announced that the prime minister wanted to get 35,000 cherry trees to mother's beautification effort. as liz carpenter describes it, the gift was a trojan horse. ever since those cherry trees were given in 1912, the department of agriculture had fought to keep all fallen fruit
