Dear Editor,
While I may have taken the lead on this issue, it would not have been successful without the goodwill and co-operation of a number of Islanders.
First and foremost, I would like to thank the artists, Simon Daniel James and Shane Tweeten for their patience, civility and co-operation. Simon was especially helpful in identifying a respectful location for the sculpture. I would also like to thank Kathy Lalonde and Bob Robinson for their advice and assistance; Steve Bellringer from Village Square for his generosity in providing a site for the sculpture; Lonnie Hindle for his counsel; David Paul Smith for organizing and co-ordinating the move, and Jim Clark, Frank Seaberly and Conrad Lindner for the 'heavy lifting.'
Sincerely,
Tim Rhodes
Councilor
