Richard was the only victim with the entire #3 powerhouse collapsed off the Niagara Falls cliffs. Stories about that day can be found here (visit link)

The bradford pear tree is in a nice landscaped plot. I note that a very small oak tree has been planted in the background, thus will some day overtake the bradford pear.
Location of the tree: Along walkway in Niagara Falls State Park

Type of tree: Bradford Pear
