Fifteen years ago this garden me-
nagerie was started by Aliens father,
D. A. Pittman, who died last Deem
Der. Infinite skill and patience were
required. First Mr.. Pittman built
wire frame corresponding to the shape
of the animal; then he selected strong
shoots of young privet and planted
them at the base of the frame. As the
hedge grew, it eventually filled out
the frame.
Storms, moths, insects, disease,
malnuuition and automobiles are
just a few of the difficulties that
hindered Mr.. Pittman. Several years
ago a severe sleet storm wrecked the
front half of one of his elephants; so
Mr.. Pittman skillfully converted it
into a Democratic donkey, rearing
back on its hind legs. With shiny tin
teeth shaped into a horse laugh and
light.bulb eyes, it is an impressive
sight.
