It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as if time has stood still and the returned alums are undergrads again. As they turn their eyes upward to take in the lofty canopy, they can thank UNC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s legendary tree man, Bus Hubbard, for his 59 years of maintaining the oaks, hickories and poplars that make this campus so special. This spring, Bus decided to hang up the chainsaw. In celebrating the modest 78-year-old\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s retirement, we showcase the work of undergraduate photojournalist Warner Underwood, who was lucky enough to spend several weeks with Bus during his final autumn among the trees he loved and cared for so well for so long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
