Former Ohio Governor Bob Taft was present at today's planting festivities. Mr. Taft is the great-grandson of U.S. President William Howard Taft and First Lady Helen Taft, who in 1912 accepted Japan's original gift of the cherry trees which have since graced Washington, D.C. Happy Arbor Day! http://www.dispatch.com/content/sto...rees-will-represent-blossoming-relations.html
