Easton resident Maria Corti felt like a celebrity last week when she visited Rockefeller Plaza to check on the 76-foot-tall Norway spruce that had been removed from her yard the previous day.
“When they found out I was the tree lady, people wanted to have their pictures taken with me — as well as with the crane operator,” said Corti, who was thrust into the limelight in the early morning hours of Nov. 11 when a tree in her yard was cut down and transported 70 miles away to become this year’s Rockefeller Christmas tree.
