Who is coming up with Dick?


I thought I would introduce you to Jenna, she is a sculpture that will be traveling on the road from Houston, Texas to Vermont. I need to deliver her to Main. Jenna's mom is coming to the opening to pick up "her little angel." I love the idea that we will be coming up to Vermont with an angel. I wonder if Jenna and Dick have met in heaven?

Saying good bye-


When I was searching for reference for the Dick Hathaway memorial, I went through the collection of his books and found this page. It seemed so appropriate for what I do, what transpires with the deceased. I think of it often when I am trying to capture the essence of those I have never met and who are now gone.

The poem

Out on the end of an apple tree bough
A birdie was singing a song just now.
And when it was ended
the birdie pretended
to say good-bye,
But he did not know how!

"My body is just something I use to carry around my head."


"My body is just something I use to carry around my head."

The foundry e-mailed today, wanting the bench that Dick Hathaway was created on. I had it loaded into the van and brought it over to them. When arriving to the foundry the Hathaway sculpture was everywhere! Pull yourself together Professor! Miguel the master foundry man was diligently working on putting him together. It won't be long. What was that quote that the professor used to say, "My body is just something I use to carry around my head."
