On Friday, April 30 at 3 p.m., near the Maple Grove Cemetery and Candor Town Hall a tree was planted for Arbor Day in honor of Don Weber; dedicated community resident of Candor.
It was a brisk, windy day but, many still came out to honor Don for all his work and dedication in helping his community of Candor.Â
Roy Yarrington was the main speaker who started the program with a quick history of Arbor Day which was started April 10, 1872; and Arbor Day in New York is officially celebrated the last Friday in April.Â
Yarrington mentioned Donâs history in Candor starting with working 14 years at the Candor National Bank. Weber became fascinated with numbers while going to Candor School; even being the treasurer of his class in his junior and senior years. Later he would serve as treasurer for the Candor School Board for eight years.Â
