Boise unveiling a great success

Word out of Boise is that the unveiling at the Boise International Airport was a great success. Here is a link to the story in the Idaho Statesman: http://www.idahostatesman.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050502/NEWS01/505020312&SearchID=73206931073074

I a related matter I am working on a prototype for a bas relief sculpture of Dan Holmes who was lost fighting fires For the Arrowhead hotshots,NPS on October of 2004. The relief will be a portrait of Dan inspired by a photo his mother Dee provided. It seems like 20 or more firefighters are lost each year protecting out land and holmes. My goal is to start a series of these tributes that could be incorporated at the existing monument (National Inter-agency Fire Center, Boise Idaho) in the form of a flowing wall. I would like to alter the state of "monumental thinking" that was started with the vietnam wall. These portraits would make the tribute far more personal to all who had the honor of seeing them at the site. An additional cast would be presented to the family of the fallen firefighter. A tribute like this would require contributions for the creation of the wall, the creation, casting and installation of the bas-relief portraits. If you would like to support the cause send an e-mail over to the Wildland Firefighters Foundation and let them know how you feel. http://wffoundation.org/default.asp?page_id=28&parent_id=27
