Perfect Christmas tree found in employee's yard

TYRONE - Ed Nestlehutt nagged his wife, Chris, for five years to donate their 70-foot Georgia white pine to her employer, Rich&#39;s department store, as its rooftop Christmas tree. <br> <br> Ed&#39;s persistence will pay off Thursday when the pine becomes the 55th Rich&#39;s Great Tree. <br> <br> ``Finally to satisfy him I said, &#39;I&#39;ll call,&#39;&#39;&#39; said Chris Nestlehutt, who works in the company credit union. ``I just didn&#39;t really believe they would want my tree.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The tree beside the Nestlehutt&#39;s home Tryone will be cut down and hauled to Atlanta, then hoisted to the roof of Rich&#39;s store in Buckhead. The tree lighting is Thanksgiving night. <br> <br> Last year&#39;s tree came from Paulding County. Others have come from as far away as the Carolinas. <br> <br> The Nestlehutts were excited their tree was picked, but said they won&#39;t miss it that much. <br> <br> ``It&#39;s just getting so big,&#39;&#39; Chris Nestlehutt said.
