Letter: A story over time Roldcat writes: In my experience, I found that the twisted looking effect is caused by vines wrapping themselves around the tree trunk or branches when the tree is young and then the growth of the tree squeezes out between the vine wrapping and causes the twisting effect.

Russell, one of her nine children, had bought one of the first radios to be had in our neighborhood and set it up in the family room. There was no electricity in our home then so all four of my brothers, Russell, Robert, Ed and Rondyl, worked the long, late fall afternoon wiring it up to a pole set up in the front yard with an aerial wire run to the radio. It took three batteries to get it in operation - a big one like a car battery, and a couple of round ones that were pretty good size.
