The full committee with the exception of Paul
Beaver, who was absent for the evening.
An interesting side note: JoAnne Marlin
sits in an antique chair. It and its twin next to her are
from the old state school, Lincoln Developmental Center.
Seagraves talks about how the model was made
and how the life-size version will be assembled.
When his life-size piece is complete, it will be
taken to a nearby foundry and deconstructed into pieces for casting.
Details are important to the artist.
Lincoln's tie is notably crooked on the model, intentionally. It is reported that
most of the time Lincoln's tie was in disarray.
County board member Gene Rohlfs and wife Wanda
Lee, who is on the statue committee, chat with Seagraves.
At the end of the evening, everyone was invited
to enjoy a piece of Mary Todd cake.
