About 10 years ago, when Benson Puah was still the CEO of the Esplanade, he came up with a novel fundraising idea for the Esplanade.
There were a number of trees outside the Esplanade facing the waters and he said he would make each tree a memorial for the sum of $10,000.
Partly to support the Esplanade and him and to set up a small memorial for my grandparents and my father, I took up 2 trees in my name and that of my mother.
I have since visited the trees a few times over the years but the last time I went there was several years back.
My sister, who is back for a short visit, went there and sent me pictures of the plaques on the trees.
So good to know that it is still there!
