 | By Lucy Fried, with appreciation to Teresa Thompson and Jessa Chisari On Christmas Eve in 2019, roots of an enormous ficus tree at the southern end of a Court 6 building damaged the underground electrical conduit and caused a dangerous outage that left electrical wires overhead for a year and an uncovered earthen pathway longer than that. |

By Lucy Fried Good news! Village Green has two new benches: one is in Court 14 near the Sycamore allée west of the Main Green, and the other is between courts 3 and 4. Both face the Main Green. The benches were donated by Georgia Lumpkin in remembrance of her husband, Ted Lumpkin, one of the Tuskegee Airmen, the famed fighter group who broke the U.S. Air Force’s color barrier during World War ll. He died from COVID on December 26, 2020, just four days short of turning 101.
