Frank Pichel, a part-time professor at VCU, sells Christmas trees, inspired by the Charlie Brown Christmas special, to raise money for a local private, no tuition middle school. He harvests the volunteer trees from his property in a remote area of the state and will be selling the trees throughout the month from a lot on Jefferson Street in Church Hill.
