Meet dentist and tree grower Ron Tremmel. He raises California oaks as a hobby. His wife wants them out of the backyard.
Dr. Ron Tremmel has been planting oaks for 25 years. But back in 1964, the Chatsworth Junior Women's Club helped fill petitions to save oak trees in their town, trees that were threatened by a plan to reroute Santa Susana Avenue. (L-R) Shown are Mrs. Bruce Magill, Mrs. James Cicchi, and Mrs. Garvin Aulepp.
