This is a family made dedication and it has a Pine Tree, a Tractor and a Locomotive as part of the homemade dedication sign. It makes you wonder, who is Jay D. Adams? Fortunately, his obituary provides some insight (link below the quotation). Jay had a passion for restoring tractors and model railroads. The Pine Tree probably represents his rural hideaway in Sullivan County, PA. There are lots of pine trees there.
