Vrsmus The Sycamore Tree It was the terrible storm of March 29. 1984 that left the grand old sycamore tree in the east end zone of Patterson field uprooted. The tree was estimated to be between two hundred and two hundred and fifty years old. It was predicted to stand for another ten to twenty-five years Itefore being toppled by a strong wind, and during that time its offspring, a genetic copy would have reached a good size . But the strong wind came sooner than expected. It was not surprising that news of the Bears leafy mascot spread across the country from Philadelphia to Alaska and California. While we wait for a small sapling of tree to grow large enough to plant, the wood from the sycamore has been commissioned to a sculptor to carve a large I'rsinus bear in order to be displayed in Myrin Library.
