Hi John-yes, Mell corrected me...it is in Cornwall, not Warwick, and
he says its still there with a grille guard over the glass. It is a
nice tribute. To bad we lost the monument to Donald in the Big Basin
fire. Hank

I think that you will find that the stained glass window was in the
church in Perranporth where Donald once lived and where Bic lived.
I am not aware of anything in Warwick

OK lets get the record straight. First of all, it was Geoff Healey who
liked fishing-not Donald. He came to the Oregon meet and stayed with
the Boltons and went fishing. The Oregon club dedicated a fishing shed
in Grants Pass in honor of Geoff.
The DMH Memorial grove was the idea from Dick Santana (SMOG) as he
found out that for $10K we could purchase a whole grove for someone.
He raised the money and it got done. Then we had a dedication in
1989-just after the meet in Rippling River, OR. Geoff & Margo and John
and Joy Healey attended the meet and the dedication. The sign was
refurbished and rededicated in 2003.
At the same time, another group of Healey enthusiasts; some in AHCPC
and some in AHCA and with the support of other regional clubs, started
another drive to purchase a stained glass window in the church in
Warwick in honor of Donald. That too was accomplished. (at least it
was closer to his home)
As far as making sense of it all; folks wanted to honor these people
in whatever way they could and although Donald never had anything to
do with the Big Basin Park, it was a gesture of respect by Healey
owners.
I too, thought it a bit off the mark, but never-the-less contributed
to the grove fund as respect for Donald. Its too bad that the sign was
not cast in stone, and if redone, maybe it should, as that is the
second monument that we have lost. 
You can find the original dedication story and photos in the club
magazine for July/August 1989 issue. Regards, Hank, healeyhelper.com

He loved to go fishing there as I recall

I don't mean to be disrespectful but ...... why is there a memorial
for Donald Healey in a Redwood Grove? I remember when it was being
strongly promoted by Oregon club member BillBolton and ultimately
dedicated. It didn't make sense to me then. I still don't get it. Was
there ever any personal connection between the Redwoods and Donald
that I was not aware of?

I am looking for some photos of the original DMH Grove sign. I have to
put together my column for our newsletter. And figured this may be the
topic. Then maybe we can put a fund together to replace it.
I have all the past Healey Highlights so if someone can tell me the
year it was dedicated i can then start searching.

With 17 years in the woods I suspect that the sign was due for a
facelift again. Hopefully it and the trees made it though the
conflagration but if not I’m sure the faithful well rise to the call
just as the seed will sprout again. P Sent from Mail [10] for Windows

I was afraid of that. The sign can be replaced, we will never see the
redwoods again--if they are gone--but some have seen fire before.On

the wood sign faired to well in the firestorm. Most of the plaques on
the back were plastic-few metal. Here is an article from the last
rebuild...maybe someone could rebuild it again. I remember it well,
and we had reunions there on Donald's birthday, July 3.  Many other
dedicated groves were also lost. Here is a note from Sempervirens
about those:  [16]

Compared to the losses suffered by some, this is trivial, but I hope
it 
survives.
